To the Honorable, The City Council of the City of
Chicago:
Gentlemen — On Tuesday, March 16, 1954, a
group of leading citizens of Chicago officially pre-
sented to me a major redevelopment project cover-
ing a large plot of ground immediately north of the
Chicago River. Known as the Fort Dearborn Pro-
ject, this plan envisages the clearance of an area
of approximately 151 acres and the subsequent re-
development of this cleared land with a large group
of structures designed to house residential units, a
civic center, and possibly the Chicago campus of
the University of Illinois.
A tremendous amount of creative energy and
painstaking work are represented by this proposal.
It has received broad acclaim locally and has been
given substantial national notice. It represents a
further demonstration of Chicago's leadership in
the field of what is now known as urban renewal.
I would like to thank all of those who have par-
ticipated in the creation of this project, as well as
the sponsors who have ofl^cially presented it to the
City. Theirs is the kind of planning and leadership
which have made Chicago great.
I have asked the agencies concerned to make a
thorough study of this proposal to the end of being
able to bring before you detailed facts for your
consideration and possible action. I anticipate that
the results of this inquiry will soon be available.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor.

Respectfully submitted,
Firemen's Arbitration Board
/s/ By James J. McDermott
Chairman
Firemen's Arbitration Board
Findings and Recommendations
to Corporate Authorities
March 15, 1954
On November 12, 1953, The Firemen's Associa-
tion Of Chicago, Local Union No. 2, A. F. L., in-
voked the provisions of Article 13A, Chapter 24,
Revised Cities and Villages Act, as amended, Illi-
nois Revised Statutes, 1953, State Bar Association
Edition, by serving upon the corporate authorities
of the City of Chicago a Notice and Demand alleg-
ing the existence of a dispute between the City
and its Firemen concerning hours of labor, wages
and working conditions and requesting the appoint-
ment of a Firemen's Arbitration Board to hold
hearings on the dispute, as provided by the afore-
mentioned Article 13A.
On December 10, 1953, the City Council, at its
regular meeting, adopted the following Resolution
by a vote of 46 to 0:
"Whereas, The Firemen's Association of Chi-
cago has served a notice and demand for a Fire-
men's Arbitration Board as provided in Article
13A, Chapter 24, Revised Cities and Villages Act,
Illinois Revised Statutes, 1953; and
Whereas, The Firemen's Association of Chi-
cago has recommended the appointment to said
Board of certain individuals, including Mr.
Stephen Bailey and Mr. Stanley L. Johnson ; now
therefore.
Be It Resolved, That a Firemen's Arbitration
Board is hereby established. The members of
said Board shall be: Honorable Michael J. Cor-
rigan, Anthony J. Mullaney, Stephen Bailey and
Stanley L. Johnson, and the fifth member to be
«'

appointed bv the aforesaid members. The said
Board shall conduct hearings for the purpose of
hearing- evidence and report its findings and rec-
ommendations to the City Council and to the
Firemen's Association of Chicago, as provided
by law.
Thereafter on December 22, 1953, the four mem-
bers of the Arbitration Board appointed pursuant
to the above Resolution met and selected Judge
James J McDermott as the fifth member of the
Board- and on December 28, 1953, the Board met
and selected said Judge James J. McDermott to act
as its Chairman.
The Arbitration Board convened and held its first
hearing on December 30, 1953. A further hearing
was hlld on January 6, 1954 at which time the
parties concluded placing before the Board the
evidence at hand bearing on the issues mvolyed.
\fter the aforementioned hearings, the Arbitration
Board conducted a series of Executive Sessions to
consider the evidence before it on the two major
issues involved which were:
1. Request for a shorter work week.
2. Request for increased wages.
At the outset of the first hearing, it was agreed
by and between the representatives of The Fire-
nien's Association Of Chicago and the officials of
the Fire Department that a bona fide dispute did
exist as to the questions of wages, hours and con-
ditions of employment.
Mr. James T. McGuire, President of The Fire-
men's Association Of Chicago, Local Union No. 2,
International Association Of Fire Fighters, A. F. L.,
offered testimony and during his testimony the
Petitioners offered in evidence Exhibits 1 through
11 in support of Petitioners' position.
Mr McGuire discussed Exhibit 7 which is at-
tached to and made a part of this decision, a plan
whereby working hours of Chicago Firemen could
be reduced from 671/2 hours a week to 56 hours
a week: said plan contemplates three platoons in-
stead of the present two platoon system with each
platoon working a twenty-four hour shift; that the
presently scheduled "extra off day" known as the
"Kelly off" be eliminated and that a basic five rnan
fire fighting company be employed. In addition,
the plln contemplates one additional Deputy Fire
Marshal, three additional Division Marshals fifteen
additional Battalion Chiefs, ninety-two additional
Lieutenants and fifteen additional Engineers. Since
the plan offered contemplates a reduction m hours
at no additional cost to the City, the additional
officers required would have to be provided m an
"acting" capacity. By having the additional officers
serve in an "acting" capacity, their civil service
status remains unchanged, they acquire no tenure
or rights in the particular "acting" rank in which
they serve, no new positions are created m the
Fire Service and there is no exceeding of the salary
accounts or number of officers provided by the City
Council in its Appropriation Ordinance for 1954,
which was passed December 11, 1953. -^^^^^
officers can be provided by verbal orders of the
Fire Commissioner, as needed, in order to efficiently
administer the affairs of the Fire Department.
In support of his argument for shorter hours,
Mr McGuire referred to Exhibit 8 attached to and
made a part of this decision. The Exhibit is a com-
parative study of salaries, working conditions and
manpower strength of New York, Chicago, Phil-
adelphia, Los Angeles and Detroit and disclosed
that Chicago Firemen work longer hours than do
Firemen of any of the other four cities, and that
New York Firemen work only 42' 2 hours per week.
In addition, this Exhibit discloses that each of the
other four cities pays its Firemen a larger hourly
rate of pay than is received by Chicago Firemen.
Mr McGuire also introduced Exhibit 9 which is
attached to and made a part of this decision and
which discloses that Chicago has fewer Firemen
per 1000 of population than any other of the seven-
teen largest cities in the United States.
The Appropriation Ordinance for the City of
Chicago was passed December 11, 1953. The Board
is aware that the City now has no authority to
pass a supplemental budget for 1954; that any rec-
ommendations the Board may make concerning
wages would have to be considered by the corporate
authorities in preparing the Appropriation Ordi-
nance for 1955.
In further consideration of Exhibit 8, the Board
noted that Chicago Firemen received $1.28 per hour
as compared with $1.53 for Detroit, $1.55 for Los
Angeles, $1.80 for Philadelphia and $2.16 for New
York Chicago is, of course, a poor last m hourly
rate pay. The Exhibit also disclosed that New York
has 1 4 Firemen per thousand of population, Phil-
adelphia 1.5, Los Angeles and Detroit 1.2 each and
Chicago, again, a poor last with .9.
Mr McGuire supported his testimony offered con-
cerning Exhibit 8 with statements by Mr. Newton
C Farr former President of the Civic Federation
and its' Executive Secretary, Harland Stockwell.
These statements were made by the gentlemen in
appearances before the City Council in 1952 and
1953 and were to the effect that increased wages
should be granted for Firemen and that hours be
shortened by adoption of the three platoon system.
Mr John P. Redmond, a former Division Marshal
of the Chicago Fire Department and presently Pres-
ident of the International Association Of Fire
Fighters, appeared and testified before the Board
in behalf of the Chicago Firemen. He stated that
in his opinion, based on his experience as a Chicago
Fireman for thirty-two years, that the shorter work
week as set forth in Exhibit 7 could be placed in
operation. He also pointed out that in 1917, when
the Fire Department changed from a one platoon
to a two platoon system, it did so without an in-
crease in manpower and that in 1937, Chicago Fire-
men received a reduction in hours (the first Kelly
off") and that reduction was accomplished without
an increase in manpower.
The Board feels that the enviable reputation of
the Chicago Fire Department can be attributed to
the character and courage of its men. They know,
too that the first concern of all Firemen, from Fire
Commissioner Corrigan and Assistant Fire Com-
missioner Mullaney to the most recent Fireman to
don a blue uniform, is the protection of the lives
and property of the citizens of our great City.
The heads of the Fire Department have, for many
years, impressed upon the City Council the fact
that the Fire Department is undermanned. We are
mindful that the present Mayor and his predeces-
sor and the City Council have constantly sought
from the Illinois Legislature such financial aid as
would permit the City Council to appropriate the
monies necessary to meet the increased salary re-
quirements and demands for increased services. It
must be stated, however, that, to date, the legis-
lative grants to Chicago for these purposes have
been found to be inadequate. Over the years, all
Department Heads have been required to operate
within the bounds of a budget fixed by City Coun-
cil This budget has admittedly been insufficient.
No employee in the City Government has been re-
7108

qiiiivd to work longer hours without adequate com-
pensation than have the members of the Chicago
Fire Department. Yet the leaders of the Fire De-
partment have so administered its affairs as to
render protection to our people and property which
no other city has surpassed.
It has been necessary, in the opinion of our fire
officials to concentrate Department strength in two
types of districts, namely, highly congested resi-
dential areas and high value property districts.
The establishment of high value property districts
is a requirement of the Fire Underwriters who rate
and evaluate the various Fire Departments in rela-
tion to fire insurance and the rates to be charged
therefor. The high value property districts, com-
prised of factories, warehouses and the like, repre-
sent a value of millions of dollars and require many
Firemen for protection. It is curious to note, how-
ever, that persons and associations representing
certain firms and corporations whose property is
located in these high value property districts, al-
though recognizing the justice of the requests of
the Firemen for an increased wage and reduction
in working hours, have failed to join with the City
in its efforts to secure financial aid from the Legis-
lature.
The Board finds that no other employees of the
City are required to work 67^2 hours per week.
The Police Department, on July 1, 1953, by ordi-
nance, had the hours of its men reduced to 44 hours
per week. The Board is also aware that throughout
the United States the 40 hour week is recognized
by Labor and Management as the standard work
week. Considerations of health and humane treat-
ment of our fellow man have brought about this
reduction. Yet in the face of well recognized stand-
ards of reduced hours, every Fireman is required
to contribute to the City, 27 V2 hours per week.
This Board, having carefully considered the state-
ments of the several witnesses and all the Exhibits
offered and received in evidence as to the matters
in dispute, and with full cognizance of its duty to
the conununity and the corporate authorities, sub-
mits the following findings to the corporate au-
thorities :
1. That a bona fide dispute exists between the
City of Chicago and the Firemen of Chicago
relative to wages paid to and hours worked
by said Firemen.
2. That the Board finds that it has been duly
constituted under and by virtue of the pro-
visions of the statute made and provided.
3. That the plan for a 40 Hour Week offered
in evidence by Petitioners as Exhibit 5 has
not been demonstrated to be practical or
workable and should not be adopted at the
present time.
4. That the three platoon system as shown in
Petitioners' Exhibit 7 is workable and can
be placed in operation without impairing the
present efficiency or service of the Fire De-
partment.
5. That the adoption of the three platoon sys-
tem will not jeopardize the life or property
of the people of the Community as a result
of fire.
6. That the three platoon system, herein rec-
ommended for adoption, will not affect the
financial structure of the City of Chicago
for 1954, since the plan contemplates that
the additional officers and engineers required
under the plan will be serving in an acting
capacitj- only.
10
7. That the adoption of the three platoon sys-
tem will permit the reduction in working
hours of Firemen from a 671/2 Hour Week
to a 56 Hour Week, a reduction to which
Petitioners have demonstrated they are en-
titled.
8. That the installation of the three platoon
system with the consequent reduction in
working hours to a 56 Hour Week take effect
October 1, 1954, thus affording the officials
of the Fire Department ample time to pre-
pare for execution the necessary administra-
tive changes required in adopting the three
platoon system proposed in Exhibit 7.
9. That Exhibit 8 of Petitioners shows Chicago
Firemen to be underpaid in relation to Fire-
men of cities of comparable size and per-
forming comparable duties.
That the City Council, in the 1955 Appro-
priation Ordinance, should provide a mini-
mum annual salary of Five Thousand Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($5,250.00) for Chi-
cago Firemen.
11. That the City Council, in the 1955 Appro-
priation Ordinance, should provide additional
Firemen over and above the number pres-
ently employed, thus correcting the existing
situation disclosed by Petitioners' Exhibits
8 and 9, namely, that Chicago has less than
one Fireman per one thousand of population
and ranks last among the seventeen largest
cities in the United States in that respect.
We recommend that the corporate authorities
take the necessary legal steps to put these findings
into full force and effect at the stated dates.

Also a communication from the Department of Law
addressed to the City Council under date of March
18, 1954, signed by L. Louis Karton, Head of Appeals
and Review Division, reading as follows:
"Re: People ex rel Alco Deree Co., a corporation,
appellant, vs. City of Chicago, appellee, Su-
preme Court No. 33012—
Attorney for plaintiff: M. J. Nathanson, 134
N. LaSalle Street.
"Gentlemen — The Supreme Court of Illinois on
March 17, 1954, affirmed the judgment of the Cir-
cuit Court of Cook County which dismissed the
complaint of plaintiff which sought to declare void
the amendatory zoning ordinance of December 3,
1942 as it affected the property owned by the
plaintiff at the southwest corner of California and
Cullom Avenues (2800 west — 4300 north) and de-
nied the writ of mandamus sought by the plaintiff
to compel the issuance of a building permit for the
construction of a two-story brick building thereon.
"The facts are set forth in detail in the attached
opinion. The plaintiff relied heavily on the fact that
the Supreme Court, in 2700 Irving Park Building
Corporation vs. City of Chicago (1946) 395 111. 138,
had held invalid the rezoning of an eighty-acre
tract of land immediately east of the subject prop-
erty, but the court held that the circumstances had
undergone a substantial change because the eighty-
acre land which had formerly been a clay pit was
now being developed as a public park and that,
while in 1946 the property was not suitable for
residential development, the present existence of a
park made the subject property eminently suitable
for residential purposes. The court sustained the
rezoning of the block which includes the subject
property to apartment use from the old commercial
use.
"The court concludes that on the facts of this
case a legitimate difference of opinion as to the
reasonableness of the amendatory zoning ordin-
ance of 1942 is disclosed and that the plaintiff had
failed to show that the ordinance was arbitrary,
capricious or unreasonable.
"The plaintiff has until April 1, 1954 to file notice
of its intention to file a petition for rehearing and
until April 12, 1954 to file petition for rehearing."
— Referred to the Committee on Buildings and Zoning.

A transverse section of the surface of the fin-
ished pavement and gutters shall be an arc of a
circle passing through the said gutter elevations
and the elevation of the center of said finished
roadwav at every part of the roadway of each of
said specified streets between the points herein
described.
In all intersecting alleys herein specified at the
street lines of said specified streets the surface of
the finished pavement adjoining the curbing shall
be even with the top of the curbing, and the surface
of the finished pavement at the center of the road-
ways of said alleys shall be three (3) inches below
the top of the curbing, and a transverse section of
the surface of the finished pavement at the street
lines of said specified streets shall be an arc of a
circle passing through the surface of the pavement
adjoining said curbing and the surface of the
pavement at the center of said finished roadways.
The surface of the said pavement thence shall slope
gradually to meet the surface of the finished pave-
ment at the curb lines of said specified streets.
On the sub-grade as formed and compacted shall
be spread an insulation course of limestone screen-
ings. Said insulation course shall be one (1) inch
in thickness and shall extend across the full width
of the roadbed.
On the insulation course as formed and com-
pacted shall be spread a foundation course consist-
ing of a layer of crushed limestone or blast furnace
slag of the best quality, broken so as to pass
through a ring of four (4) inches internal diameter
and held on a ring of two (2) inches internal diam-
eter. The stone or slag as spread shall be well
graded as to sizes. It shall be evenly distributed so
as to leave no pockets filled with the small size
stone or slag. This layer shall be thoroughly rolled
with a self-propelled three-wheel roller, weighing
not less than ten (10) tons. The rolling shall begin
at the edges of the pavement and the roller shall
move parallel with the center line of the roadway.
The roller shall progress gradually toward the cen-
ter of the roadway, uniformly lapping each preced-
ing track, covering the entire surface with the
rear wheels and continuing until the stone or slag
does not creep or move ahead of the roller. After
the crushed limestone has been thoroughly rolled
and keyed, limestone screenings shall be applied
gradually over the surface and the rolling con-
tinued until sufficient screenings have been applied
to completely fill the interstices. If slag is used,
then after it has been thoroughly rolled and keyed,
limestone screenings or fine slag shall be applied
gradually over the surface and the rolling con-
tinued until sufficient screenings or fine slag have
been applied to completely fill the interstices.
The screenings or fine slag shall be swept in with
hand brooms to properly fill the voids. The spread-
ing and rolling shall continue until no more screen-
ings or fine slag will go in dry. No excess of
screenings or fine slag shall be used before applying
water. Immediately after the voids have been filled
with screenings, or fine slag, the macadam shall be
sprinkled until saturated, the sprinkler being fol-
lowed by the roller. More screenings or fine slag
shall be added if necessary. The sprinkling, sweep-
ing and rolling shall continue until a grout shall be
formed of the screenings or fine slag and water
that will fill all voids, and form a wave of grout
before the wheels of the roller. The quantity of
screenings or fine slag and water necessary to fill
the voids shall be determined by the engineer and
shall be sufficient to produce a rough, granular
surface. The rolling, at all times, shall begin at the
sides, and then progress toward the center, thor-
oughly covering the entire surface with the rear
wheels. When compacted, this layer shall measure
not less than five (5) inches in thickness.
Upon the finished waterbound macadam base
there shall be uniformly applied by an approved
type of spreader box, two (2) inch stone to a depth
providing a total base course thickness of three
(3) inches after final compaction. After shaping to
grade and rolling with a ten (10) ton roller three-
quarter (%) inch stone chips shall be broadcast
and broomed into the surface voids at the rate of
fifteen (15) pounds per square yard. Liquid as-
phalt at a temperature of 140° F. shall be uniform-
ly applied by a pressure distributor at a rate of one
and one-half (11/2) gallons per square yard. Stone
chips shall again be broadcast and broomed uni-
formly over the surface at the rate of fifteen (15)
pounds per square yard. Liquid asphalt shall be
uniformly applied by a pressure distributor at the
rate of one-half (V2) gallon per square yard. Stone
chips shall be broadcast again at the rate of ten
(10) pounds per square yard. The surface shall
then be thoroughly rolled. The asphalt shall con-
form to the State Specifications for Emulsified
Asphalt R.S. 1 and R.S. 2 page 640 State of Illinois

struction adopted January 2, 1952.
On the said foundation course shall be placed an
asphaltic concrete surface course two (2) inches in
thickness consisting of an asphaltic concrete mix-
ture conforming to the standard requirements of
the Illinois State Division of Highways for Type
I-II Asphaltic Concrete adopted January 2, 1952, as

COMMITTEE ON HARBORS, WHARVES AND BRIDGES.
U. S. Congress Memorialized to Permit Rebuilding of
Highway Bridges as Well as Railroad Bridges
over Calumet-Sag Channel at Federal Ex-
pense, and U. S. Army Engineers Urged
to Take Preliminary Steps for Im-
provement of Three Railroad
Bridges over Calumet
River.
The Committee on Harbors, Wharves and Bridges
submitted the following report :
Chicago, March 11, 1954.
To the President and Members of the City Council:
Your Committee on Harbors, Wharves and
Bridges, having had under consideration the pro-
posed development of Lake Calumet as a ship-
barge-rail-truck commercial and industrial harbor,
and the need for providing an adequate ship chan-
nel between Lake Michigan and Lake Calumet, begs
leave to recommend that Your Honorable Body do
adopt the two proposed resolutions transmitted
herewith.
These recommendations were concurred in by
8 members of the committee, with no dissenting
votes.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Otto F. Janousek,
Chairman.
Alderman Janousek moved to concur in the com-
mittee's recommendation and to adopt the proposed
resolution recommended in the committee's report
reading as follows:
Whereas, The Chicago City Council has repeat-
edly expressed itself in favor of the improvement
of the Calumet-Sag Navigation Project as provided
in House Document 677— 79th Congress, 2nd Ses-
sion, and
Whereas, The success of the proposed develop-
ment of Lake Calumet as an industrial and com-
mercial barge-ship-rail-truck harbor to be under-
taken by the Chicago Regional Port District Board
in the near future, to a great extent depends upon
the improvement of the Calumet-Sag Channel ; and
Whereas, Under the conditions of House Docu-
ment 677 the Federal Government will assume the
cost of the improvement and rebuilding of the
several railroad bridges over the Channel, but
specifically excludes Federal responsibility for the
rebuilding of the several highway bridges over the
Channel; and
Whereas, The Truman-Hobbs Bill was amended
in July, 1952, by an amendment which provides
that the Federal Government may, in the interest
of navigation, assume the cost of modification or
rebuilding of highway bridges as well as railroad
bridges over navigable waterways;
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the City
Council of the City of Chicago respectfully petitions
the Congress of the United States to enact such
legislation in the present 83rd Congress as would
modify the language regarding the bridge policy
as expressed in House Document 677 aforemen-
tioned, so that the Federal responsibility for bridge
construction may include highway bridges as well
as railroad bridges;
And Be It Further Resolved, That the City Clerk
be and he is hereby directed to forward copies of
this resolution to the members of Congress repre-
senting the States of Illinois and Indiana.
The motion prevailed and said proposed resolution
was adopted.
Alderman Janousek next moved to adopt the pro-
posed resolution recommended in the committee re-
port reading as follows:
Whereas, The Chicago Regional Port District
Board is progressing in its plans which will result
in the construction of the initial stages of develop-
ment of Lake Calumet Harbor as a commercial and
industrial terminal for the interchange of com-
merce between ship, barge, rail and truck; and
Whereas, The complete success of said harbor
development is dependent upon the adequacy of the
Channel of the Calumet River between Turning
Basin No. 5 and Lake Michigan ; and
Whereas, In that river reach extending for a
distance of one mile lakeward of Turning Basm No.
5 there exist three obstructive railroad bridges,
namely — the Calumet Western Railway, the Chi-
cago & Western Indiana Railway, and the New
York, Chicago & St. Louis Railway bridges— which
limit the size of ships which may enter Lake Calu-
met Harbor, thereby impairing the complete utili-
zation and usefulness of said facility; and
Whereas, The Federal Government has indicated
that said bridges would be rebuilt at Federal ex-
pense in accordance with the provisions of the
Truman-Hobbs Act when, as and if development of
Lake Calumet would be undertaken ; and
Whereas, The local cooperation required of the
City of Chicago in the furnishing of rights of way
to enable the Federal Government to establish
a straight channel 300 feet wide through the reach
of the river spanned by these 3 obstructive bridges

al Port District, which possesses all necessary

ance.

3. Agenda of meeting:
a. The story of Negro in-migration to
Chicago as above stated.
b. Presentation of the laws pertinent to
racial discrimination and segregation.
c. Information on nature of proposed
change in tenancy; when, how many,
type persons.
d. Information on CHA tenancy require-
ments and selection procedures and
policy.
e. Request for cooperation as necessary to
make change in a peaceful democratic
fashion in the American way.
B. If desirable, subsequent to meetings of the
community leaders, a mass meeting of people
from and around the project in question. At
this meeting it would be most desirable if the
local leaders presented the picture to the
community in conjunction with a spokesman
from the Mayor's office.
C. If necessary, special meetings with resistance
groups by mayoral spokesman and local
leaders.
II. In Order That Normal Functioning and Services
of the Police Department Are Not Impaired by
Drain on Police Personnel Necessitated by Rmial
Disturbances, the Police Commissioner Should
Study Ways by Which Auxiliary Emergency Forces
Might Be Provided if Such Disturbances Occur.
The cooperation of the Park District police might
be secured in such contingencies, or such other
agencies as the Police Commissioner might deem
feasible.
The Committee recognizes that although the
Police Department as presently constituted has
been able to keep crime down while handUng the
recent disturbances in a most efficient manner;
nevertheless, the need to detail numerous personnel
to unusual duties keeps the Department from ade-
quately fulfilling routine needs such as traffic con-
trol, regular patrolling, etc., when normal forces
are not available.
Moreover, this drain has secondary consequences
in that it has a demoralizing effect on other seg-
ments of the community. Despite evidence to the
contrary, many people feel that they are not get-
ting adequate protection in these circumstances
and that crime has free rein in the city. Actually,
the crime rate did not change during this period —
only routine services have suffered. Nevertheless,
the feeling is there, and the resentments so engen-
dered aggravate existing racial tensions, for the
feeling has been in these quarters that the many
were being neglected in favor of the few.
Therefore, the Committee feels that some sort of
auxiliary emergency force is necessary in order
that the laws may be properly enforced in areas
where racial disturbances occur, while at the same
time normal police services are maintained and the
morale of other areas is sustained.
///. The City Council Should Lend Force to the
Laws of the State and the Nation by Resolution
against Racial Discrimination in the Use of Public
Facilities and on Behalf of Those Laws.
Such a statement by our local government could
serve to discourage violent resistance to the exer-
cise of their American rights by our Negro popu-
lation.
IV. The City's Conservation Program Should Be
Strengthened and Particular Attention Should Be
Paid to Transitional Areas to See that Building
and Zoning Laws Are Firmly Maintained.
Very frequently properties moving from white
to Negro occupancy have given way to overcrowd-
7158
JOURNAI^— CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
April 7, 1954
ing due to the pressures of the growing Negro
population. Overcrowding inevitably leads to de-
terioration of both dwellings and neighborhoods
with consequent depreciation of property values.
It is this very practical consideration which is
often behind resistance to Negro move-ins into
white neighborhoods, the fear that the deprecia-
tion of property values will cut away investments
in homes and property. A strong conservation
program in such areas can serve to reduce this
hazard.
V. Such Fears Can Further Be Allayed If Such
Groups as the Chicago Real Estate Board and
Mortgage Bankers and Savings and Loan Groups
Would Give Assurances that Normal Credit Re-
sources Would Not Be Withdrawn from Such
Neighborhoods as Long as Property Was Well
Maintained, No Matter What the Racial Composi-
tion of the Area.
With the cooperation of the City and these
groups one of the major bases to racial tensions,
fear of economic loss, might be eliminated.
With respect to Recommendations IV and V, the
Committee recognizes that much of the difficulty
surrounding this problem is based on the general
housing shortage prevailing in Chicago. The gen-
eral competition for housing has served to ag-
gravate tensions beyond their normal seriousness.
Therefore, the Committee feels that not only
should every encouragement be given to public and
private building programs, but that there should
be no inhibitions placed on home building and im-
provement where possible. The Negro population
represents an untapped market for new homes, and
a home conserved is a potential addition to the
housing supply. Consequently, the extension of
credit for new building and home improvement in-
to these areas can contribute to relieving the hous-
ing shortage which distresses all of Chicago.
VL With Regard to the Situation at the Trumbull
Homes Housing Project, the Committee recognizes
that the Admission of the Howard Family Was
Due to an Error. Now, Because of Alleged Ir-
regularity in its Application, the Chicago Housing
Authority Has Requested the Eviction of the
Howard Family.
What must be done is clear — public housing
projects must be integrated. However, how this is
done is crucial. It can mean the difference between
an easy transition and the sort of disturbances
that have marked the Trumbull Homes move-ins.
Therefore, steps must be taken to see that the
administrative procedures of the Chicago Housing
Authority are so organized as not to allow such
an ill-planned or unplanned move-in as touched
the Trumbull Homes disturbances. Initial steps to
the integration of an all-white project must be
carefully planned.
The move-in of the Howard family has come to
stand as a symbol of all the tensions of the past
months in the Trumbull Homes area; and its re-
moval should therefore be expedited in the inter-
ests of tranquility in the neighborhood.
It should be made clear, however, that the three
additional Negro families who moved into Trum-
bull Homes are there legally and they are free to
remain as long as they meet CHA requirements.
The Committee feels that while these recom-
mendations do not constitute the whole answer to
the problem of reducing and preventing racial ten-
sions in housing; nevertheless, they do get at
some of the basic elements underlying these ten-
sions :
1. By providing for the transmission of accu-
rate information about intended CHA activi-
ties and the laws on which those activities
are based, the recommendations tend to elim-
inate the ignorance and uncertainty which
underlie many of these tensions. Moreover,
such information cuts off rumors which may
aggravate tense situations.
2. Top level leadership conferences may pro-
vide the means for directing the attitudes
and actions of the affected communities along
democratic lines. When the facts about the
background and present situation of the Ne-
gro population are spelled out, the clearer
understanding achieved by local leaders may
induce them to aid in changing the thinking
of the rest of the community.
3. Assurances from appropriate groups and
agencies may serve to reduce the fears about
the consequences of racial integration on
property values.
4. Provision is made for protection of life and
property which would not endanger the ade-
quate functioning of the local police force
should tensions occur.
If the recommendations do indeed serve these
purposes, then the Committee feels that a step in
the right direction will have been taken, and a
base provided for future study and action on these
very vital issues. These recommendations, we be-
lieve, are symbolic of our democratic thinking and
our American way of life.

of in which the Department will hereunder par-
ticipate financially, the revised estimated con-
struction cost is $1,158,000.00. The Department
will and does hereby, with the approval of the
Governor, allocate and make available to said
project, for payment of such costs as are not
barred by Section 34 of the Illinois Aeronautics
Act, from funds appropriated to the Depart-
ment by and under Section 3, Senate Bill 338,
68th General Assembly, for such purposes, a
sum in the maximum amount of Seven Hundred
and Sixty Thousand Dollars and no cents ($760,-
000.00) subject to release or releases as shall be
issued by the Governor, State of Illinois based
upon bids received and contract (s) let and upon
such change orders as may be issued pursuant
and subsequent thereto, up to said maximum
amount. On the basis of reapportionment of Fed-
eral funds already granted by the United States
under the existing Grant Agreement through the
medium of amendments thereto (which Grant
Agreement as so amended shall be and is made
a part hereof), it is estimated that the United
States' share of the total overall-project costs
of said project will be approximately $2,600,-
000.00 of which $2,424,591.50 is the United
States' share in construction costs; and as it
relates to the work components thereof in which
the Department will hereunder participate fi-
nancially, the United States' share of the total
cost thereof will be approximately $398,000.00,
which is the United States' share in the construc-
tion costs thereof. Accordingly, it is estimated
that the share of the Municipality in the total
overall-project costs will be $2,043,554.35 of
which $1,868,145.85 will be the Municipality's
share of construction costs. On the basis of the
foregoing estimates and respective financial par-
ticipation of the United States and the Munici-
pality, the respective financial participation in
the total cost of accomplishing the work com-
ponents in which the Department will hereunder
financially participate, will be as follows:
Est.
Total Cost United States Municipality Department
Overall Project costs
$5,403,554.35 $2,600,000.00 $2,043,554.35 $760,000.00
Construction costs of the contract in which the
State is to participate
$1,158,000.00 $398,000.00 None $760,000.00
However, the Municipality specifically agrees
that in any event it will pay on project con-
struction costs any amount by which the total
of actual project construction costs may and
shall exceed the sum of the State funds as are
herein committed and the Federal funds granted
to or allowed and paid on project construction
costs, as the same may be incurred by reason
of contingencies, overruns, engineering errors,
or otherwise in order to complete the work
called for by the project Amended Grant Agree-
ment with the United States and the Project
Plans and Specifications, as the same may, with
the express consent and approval of the Munici-
pality, be amended, changed, modified, or supple-
mented— subject, however, and only, to the limi-
tation as to revenue raising and restrictions on
bonded indebtedness imposed by State statute
and constitution.
Section 2. This ordinance shall become effec-
tive upon its passage.

Felicitations Extended to John A. Richert on
Completion of Fifty Years of Service to
City of Chicago.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, On April 4th of this year John A.
Richert completed fifty years of service with the
City of Chicago. He was elected alderman of the
old" 4th Ward in April of 1904 and served in that
capacity until 1923; and
Whereas, As an alderman, he served as chair-
man of the Committee on Finance from 1911 to
1923, the longest time anyone has held that chair-
manship. In that important position, as a result
of his knowledge of the City's problems, his under-
standing of the relationship between the City and
its employees, and the spirit of fairness which mo-
tivated his actions and decisions, he earned to an
unusual degree the confidence of the employees of
the City and the goodwill and respect of his col-
leagues and of the public; and
Whereas, In 1923, following his retirement as a
member of the City Council, he was appointed
Chief of the Finance Committee Staff, and is now
serving his 31st year in that capacity; and
Whereas, It is fitting that on this the occasion
of his 50th anniversary as a City employee, trib-
ute be paid to this fine gentleman and faithful
public servant, who has served his City so long
and so well; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the City
Council of the City of Chicago, express to John
A. Richert our sincere thanks for his untiring
and unselfish efforts on behalf of the City of Chi-
cago and extend to him our best wishes for the
future.

Engineering Study Directed with View to Extending
Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress Subway from
Present West Terminus to City
Limits.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, In recent years plans and studies
have been made by City Departments and civic
organizations contemplating a comprehensive plan
for the extension of our subway system in various
sections of our city;
" Whereas, The new subway known as the Mil-
waukee-Dearborn-Congress route of less than four
miles has proven a boon to Northwest Side citi-
zens in near-by sections seeking rapid transporta-
tion to the Loop, whereby savings of 13 minutes
per ride are accomplished compared with previous
elevated transportation, and, that the Chicago
Transit Authority has reported that this fast,
convenient and safe travel in the subway has
been reflected in a 75 per cent increase in traffic,
and a corresponding increase in revenue;
Whereas, Subway routes afford the highest type
of transportation devised by modern engineering
ingenuity as compared with the open or "Open
cut" routes which entail hazards created by the
elements such as fog, rain, snow, ice, etc. ;

Whereas, The Milwaukee - Dearborn - Congress
route if extended would continue to follow the
course of Milwaukee Avenue with the following
advantages :
1. Milwaukee Avenue being a diagonal route
shortens the distance between the extreme north-
western city limits at Devon Avenue and Narra-
gansett Avenue and the Chicago Loop area;
2. That subway stations could be constructed
along the route where the principal arteries of
transportation intersect with the passenger traf-
fic flowing into the subway from the north,
south, east and west directions;
3. Greater convenience will be afforded to the
shopping public that patronizes shopping cen-
ters known as Ashland and Division, North and
Damen, Armitage and Western, Logan and
Avondale, Irving and Cicero, Jefferson and many
others, and likewise the many shopping centers
situated within a reasonable distance from Mil-
waukee Avenue;
4. A larger volume of subway passenger traf-
fic would increase the revenue of the Chicago
Transit Authority, making periodic increases
of fare unnecessary. Moreover, the heavy auto-
mobile traffic with its parking and congestion
difficulties, would be lessened;
Whereas, The people of the 35th Ward and a
large area of the Northwest Side are now served
only by surface routes or local transportation re-
quiring long rides on buses to reach the Loop area,
and from many parts of the 35th Ward, an addi-
tional bus change is required to obtain the benefit
of the rapid transit subway facilities at Logan
Square; therefore
Be It Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public
Works be and he is hereby instructed to prepare
an engineering study of the practicability of ex-
tending the Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress subway
in Milwaukee Avenue from the present west term-
inus at Paulina Street to the City limits at Devon
and Narragansett Avenues, and to render a re-
port thereon to the City Council.

Ordinance
Confirming Sale of $33,100,000 Bonds of the City of
Chicago.
Whereas, the ordinances authorizing two of the
issues of bonds aggregating $15,000,000 for vari-
ous public improvements hereinafter described pro-
vided that such bonds bear interest at the rate of
iy2% per annum, which was the prevailing rate of
interest upon such bonds at the time the elections
were held where a majority of the electors voting
upon the question approved such ordinances, and
three of the issues of bonds aggregating $5,000,000
hereinafter described bear interest at the rate of
not to exceed 3^% per annum, and four of the
issues of bonds aggregating $13,100,000 herein-
after described bear interest at the rate of not to
exceed 4% per annum; and
Whereas, money market conditions throughout
the United States have materially changed since
such elections were held, interest rates having in-
creased upon all types of securities even to the
extent of affecting the value of billions of out-
standing U. S. Government bonds and drastically
decreasing the market value of millions of bonds of
municipalities that have been voted bearing a fixed
rate of interest; and
Whereas, the City Comptroller has given ex-
tended publicity of the proposed sale of the nine
issues of bonds aggregating $33,100,000 hereinafter
described by advertisement in the Herald American,
a newspaper published and having a general circu-
lation in the City of Chicago, and in The Bond
Buyer, a financial newspaper published in the City
of New York, New York, such publication having
been made at least ten days prior to the date of
such sale, so as to determine the market value of
such bonds, and* three bids for their purchase have
been received, all of which offers to purchase said
two issues of bonds bearing 1^4% interest are at
less than the par value thereof, and the offers to
purchase the other seven issues of bonds are not
less than the par value thereof and accrued inter-
est; and
Whereas, in order that the various improve-
ments contemplated to be made from the proceeds
of said two issues of 11/2% bonds can be made, it is
necessary that such bonds be sold at this time at
the best price obtainable as determined by the busi-
ness judgment and good faith of this City Council
and the other issues of bonds should be sold in

development plan; and further, it is the sense of
the City Council of the City of Chicago that all
local governmental agencies, departments of the
City of Chicago and public officials should co-
operate with the Commission to the end that the
redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Area Re-
development Project Number 7 may proceed with-
out delay.
7. This ordinance shall be effective upon its
passage and approval.
The Redevelopment Plan for Project No. 7
December 23, 1953.
This project is bounded on the north by E.
26th Street extended, on the east by an irregular
line generally following the westerly and north-
erly lines of the Michael Reese Hospital properties
and the Illinois Central Railroad Company right-
of-way, on the south by the center line of E. 31st
Street, and on the west by the center line of South
Park Way. The total gross area within these
boundaries equals 54.3 acres.
The Redevelopment Plan for Project No. 7 con-
sists of the following items:
1. Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1
2. Zoning Map, Exhibit 2
3. Rights-of-Way Adjustment Map, Exhibit 3
4. This narrative statement.
A. Land Use Plan.
The relationship of Project No. 7 to the ob-
jectives of the general plan for the City are stated
in the Chicago Land Clearance Commission's pub-
lication entitled "Site Designation Report, Rede-
velopment Project No. 7," dated August 12, 1953,
which was submitted to the City Council in sup-
port of the Commission's request that the project
area be approved for clearance by the Commis-
sion. The site designation report includes as Ex-
hibit 3 a map showing the relationship of redevel-
opment and housing projects in the South Central
Area. In a publication prepared in 1950 entitled
"A Plan for the South Central Area," the Chicago
Plan Commission recommended that the area en-
compassed by Project No. 7 be redeveloped with
hospital facilities and residential structures.
The land in Project No. 7 is to be redeveloped
on the basis of superblocks for residential and
hospital uses. The Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1,
shows the relationship of the major land uses.
The approximate amount of land to be devoted to
the several uses follows:

As noted in the Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1, im-

building height, land coverage, residential density,
and parking are an integral part of the redevel-
opment plan. These requirements will be further
detailed under the discussion of the various land
uses.
1. Circulation and Public Transportation.
A total of 16.0 acres or 29.5% of the gross
project area will be devoted to streets. The 16.0
7346
JOURNAI^-CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
April 21, 1954
acres includes 8.5 acres or 15.7% of the total area
under those portions of E. 31st Street and S.
South Park Way within the project. (The bound-
aries of the project extend to the center line of
E. 31st Street and S. South Park Way. ) Only 7.5
acres or 13.8% of the total area is devoted to
interior streets which serve the project. At the
southern boundary, 31st Street right-of-way will
be widened from 66 feet to a minimum of 100 feet
or a maximum of 150 feet. Widened 31st Street
will be a limited access highway connecting the
Outer Drive at the eastern terminus of 31st Street
and the South Route of the expressway to be lo-
cated approximately 1% miles west of the Outer
Drive.
Three major points of access to the project area
will provide not only ready access to the project
but also will promote satisfactory movement of
traffic on South Park Way and 31st Street. These
entrances were determined after consultation by
representatives of the staffs of the Chicago Park
District, Chicago Plan Commission, Office of the
City Traffic Engineer, the Chicago Land Clearance
Commission, and Michael Reese Hospital. The
points of access are also located so as to allow
the creation of large superblocks for residential
and hospital use.
The major entrance for hospital servicing trucks
and for the north residential area is located at
26th Street and South Park Way. This new street
will also serve the two industrial land uses ad-
jacent to the project— the Illinois Central Railroad
Company roundhouse at 27th Street, and the Car-
penter Paper Company warehouse at the north
boundary of the project.
The major entrance to the residential and hos-
pital areas is located at 29th Street and South
Park Way. The entrance from 31st Street provides
the major accessway from the south, although
Lake Park Avenue will be retained as a secondary
entrance to hospital facilities.
The interior street pattern provides ready ac-
cess to all facilities, but is sufficiently indirect to
discourage motorists from using interior streets as
through traffic ways.
The Rights-of-Way Adjustment Map — Exhibit
3 — indicates the rights-of-way to be retained, va-
cated, and dedicated in creation of the proposed
street pattern. It should be noted that existing
Cottage Grove Avenue is largely abandoned, but
that existing utilities will be retained in ease-
ments.
Several north-south arteries in addition to South
Park Way to the west of the project will serve
as major accessways to the Loop. When the south
route of the expressway is constructed about one
mile west of the site near Canal Street, that route
along with the Outer Drive will provide ready ac-
cess to this project from all sections of the City
by way of a widened 31st Street.
The project is well served by local public trans-
portation facilities. On South Park Way at the
west boundary of the project, a bus line operates
south to 79th Street and north to the Loop. At
the Loop, public transportation is available to all
sections of the city. On 26th and 31st Streets, at
the north and south ends of the project area,
street cars now operate and connect with the
elevated and other public transportation facilities.
With the abandonment of Cottage Grove Ave-
nue as a through-way within Project No. 1, and
in Project No. 7, the street cars operating on that
street, or the buses used to replace them, will go
north by way of South Park Way or Indiana
Avenue to the Loop.
The bus route on South Park Way will serve
as the major north-south mass transportation fa-
cility when the Cottage Grove Avenue street cars
are discontinued. These will be convenient to the
proposed residential areas, and will be only a few
blocks west of the hospital concentration.
2. Residential.
Residential areas with a total of 23.6 acres are
located on two superblocks. Residential structures
will be sited to achieve a desirable relationship
with the park-playgrounds.
The minimum of 1,000 dwelling units scheduled
for construction on the project exceed the number
of dwelling units now on the project site. The
Chicago Land Clearance Commission housing and
population survey of the area conducted in Au-
gust, 1953, disclosed among other things that
there are 916 dwelling units _now on site. The
major controls indicated on the Land Use Plan —
Exhibit 1, limit maximum density to 50 dwelling
units per net residential and recreational acre.
This is in accordance with Chicago Plan Commis-
sion recommendations. With a minimum of 1,000
dwelling units, and maximum residential land cov-
erage of 20%, an open type of development con-
sisting primarily of elevator apartment structures
will result.
The following major controls on use of the resi-
dential area are included on the Land Use Plan —
Exhibit 1:
a. Maximum building height — 18 story or 180
feet.
b. Land coverage by structures 20 per cent
maximum of the net residential area.
c. Maximum density of 50 dwelling units per
net residential acre, with a minimum of
1,000 dwelling units.
d. Parking — in conformance with Chicago Zon-
ing Ordinance as revised August 18, 1953
as follows:
(1) 2-story row houses. One on-site parking
space for each dwelling unit.
( 2 ) 3-story walk-up apartments. Spaces
equal to 75% of the number of dwelling
units with bedrooms; spaces equal to
50% of the number of dwelling units
without bedrooms.
(3) Elevator apartments. Spaces equal to
60% of the number of dwelling units
with bedrooms; spaces equal to 40%
of the number of dwelling units without
bedrooms.
3. Shopping.
It is anticipated that conveniently located local
shopping facilities may be needed in the project.
The location and amount of area to be devoted
to such use will be determined when structural
arrangement is detailed.
The type of shopping facilities needed for the
approximately 1,000 dwelling units includes a drug
store, grocery, dry cleaning and other specialty
stores. It is anticipated that the 10 such con-
venience stores permitted can be located in the
first floor of an elevator apartment structure or
in a low wing of an apartment structure. The
Zoning Map — Exhibit 2, will be revised to include
*
April 21, 1954

7347
a specialty shop use district when the structural
arrangement is detailed.
Restrictions pertaining to residential areas ap-
ply also to this type of use, with the addition of
the following" parking requirement as given in the
Chicago Zoning Ordinance as revised August 18,
1953: One car space per 300 sq. ft. of retail floor
area over 2,000 sq. ft.
The Central Business District, with its wide va-
riety of shopping facilities, is only three miles
north of the site. Major items can be readily
purchased there, or in the shopping center under
construction one-half mile south in Project No. 1,
at 35th Street and South Park Way.
4. Hospital.
The existing Michael Reese Hospital property
comprises approximately 17 acres and is occupied
exclusively by hospital and allied buildings. With
the completion of the boiler plant now under con-
struction, the Serum Center Building on which
negotiations are now under way with the lowest
bidders, the Private Pavilion on which bids are
now being revised, and the Convalescent Home for
which working drawings are now being completed,
the existing hospital property will be built to
maximum desirable use.
Of the 14.7 acres to be utilized for Michael
Reese Hospital purposes, 8.4 acres will be used for
the construction of an addition to the nurses'
residence hall, a cardiovascular and cancer re-
search building on the central hospital superblock,
and a hospital building for geriatric research. The
remainder of the area to be devoted to hospital
use (6.3 acres) will be utilized for parking facili-
ties for approximately 800 automobiles required
to meet the City of Chicago Zoning parking re-
quirements.
The Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1, includes major
controls for the hospital area as follows:
a. Maximum building height — 15 stories or 150
feet.
b. Land coverage by structure — 10 per cent
maximum of net hospital area.
c. Parking — in conformance with the Chicago
Zoning Ordinance as revised August 18, 1953,
as follows:
1 space per 3 patient beds, plus 1 space
per 10 daily visitors to out-patient facili-
ties, plus 1 space per 1,500 sq. ft. floor
area in residents quarters, plus adequate
space for staff or visiting doctors.
5. Recreation.
Either the developers of the housing to be con-
structed on the project or the City of Chicago
Bureau of Parks and Playgrounds will purchase
and improve the two park-playgrounds needed to
serve the more than 1,000 dwelling units to be
built on the two residential superblocks. One of
the park-playgrounds will also probably serve
some of the hospital residents. The exact location
of these park-playgrounds will be determined when
the residential structural arrangement is detailed.
They will then be provided at the ratio of 1.25
acres per 1,000 residents in the residential areas.
In Chicago, the Chicago Park District provides
the larger community parks while the City of
Chicago Bureau of Parks and Playgrounds pro-
vides park-playgrounds. The Chicago Park Dis-
trict development of the lake front provides ex-
tensive and readily accessible park facilities. Since
such lake front facilities are separated from the
residential areas in this section of the city, by
the relocated Outer Drive, and by the Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad tracks, the Chicago Park District is
planning additional park facilities.
Within Redevelopment Project No. 1, a seven
acre park will be located across 31st Street from
Project No. 7. The 18 acre park proposed between
Calumet and Indiana Avenues, and between 29th
and 30th Streets in redevelopment area No. 6,
will serve the entire area from 22nd Street to
33rd Street, and east from the New York Central
Railroad tracks near Federal Street to the Illinois
Central Railroad tracks. That park will be only
one block west of Project No. 7.
It is expected that the community center wing
of Dunbar Trade School will be operated in con-
junction with the Chicago Park District park pro-
posed for redevelopment area No. 6. Such park
and community center facilities will be readily
available to residents of Project No. 7.
6. Schools, Other Municipal Services, and
Churches.
a. Schools.
The problems of elementary schools within the
South Central Area are under study. At present,
the Chicago Board of Education uses the Drake
Elementary School, due west of the project area
in redevelopment area No. 6, for students from
the project area. The Board of Education expects
to enlarge the Drake School to accommodate a
total of approximately 1,650 students. It is ex-
pected that the students from the project area
will be accommodated in the expanded Drake
School.
There is some possibility that the project area
may be served by the new school to be constructed
in Redevelopment Project No. 1, due south and
across 31st Street.
The public high school serving the project area
is Wendell Phillips High School, located one mile
south of the project area of Pershing Road and
Giles Avenue. This high school is overcrowed at
the present time. A satisfactory solution to the
problem of high school facilities and the problem
of long-range planning for the elementary schools,
both of which are closely linked to the major re-
development activities in the South Central Area,
is now being explored by the Commission and
School Board staffs. These school problems should
be resolved well in advance of the occupancy of
the residential units to be constructed in Project
No. 7.
A site fronting on the west side of South Park
Way from 29th Street to 31st Street has recently
been purchased by the Chicago Board of Educa-
tion for the Dunbar Trade School. That building
is expected to cost $4,500,000.00, and will be avail-
able to students from this project area.
A parochial elementary school is located at 29th
Street and Wabash Avenue, one-half mile west of
the project area. This is St. James School, which
will be preserved in Project No. 6A. De LaSalle
Institute, a Catholic high school for boys, is lo-
cated at 35th and Wabash, one mile from the
project area.
b. Other Municipal Services.
The new 2nd District Police Station is two
blocks west of the project area, in redevelopment
area No. 6. The fire station now serving the proj-
ect area is in Redevelopment Project No. 1, and

Way near 34th Street.
c. Churches.
Church facilities for various denominations are
located nearby. Olivet Baptist Church is across
the street in Redevelopment Project No. 1, and
Hartzell Methodist Church is two blocks west, in
the redevelopment area of Project No. 6A; St.
James Church is four blocks west, in Project No.
6A; and space is being reserved in the northern
part of redevelopment Area No. 6 for another
church.
B. Controls on Redevelopment.
To assure a type of development consistent with
the public and private investment involved, con-
trols of two types will be used.
1. Land Use Plan Major Controls.
The Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1, includes various
types of restrictions involving maximum building
height, land coverage by buildings, residential den-
sity and parking.
The restrictions governing on-site parking fa-
cilities should assure that all parking will be on
parking facilities related to residential areas, res-
idential with shopping areas or hospital areas.
Therefore, all public streets will be available solely
for traffic use rather than for parking purposes.
The arrangement of land in superblocks, plus
the traffic controls involving restriction on access-
ways to the project and through-traffic, serve as
built-in controls. These should also assist in main-
taining values.
2. Terms-of-sale.
The elements of the redevelopment plan includ-
ing land use plan controls will form the basis of
40 year contracts between the Chicago Land
Clearance Commission and redevelopers.
C. Other Official Action Including Zoning.
When the redevelopment plan is approved by
the Council of the City of Chicago, street changes
as indicated in the Rights-of-Way Adjustment Map
— Exhibit 3, and zoning changes as indicated in
the Zoning Map — Exhibit 2, will likewise be ap-
proved. Council ordinances vacating the streets
must be deferred until shortly before the date as
of which the streets are to be vacated.
Zoning proposals provide for apartment house
use. A specialty shop use district will be deter-
mined when structural arrangement is detailed.
These proposed use districts and volume changes
are shown on Exhibit 2. Inasmuch as the City of
Chicago Zoning ordinance is now undergoing re-
vision, these changes may be modified later to
conform with the revised ordinance.

Whereas, The State of Israel came to a new

Whereas, Israel reborn, is dedicated to the same
principles of liberty, brotherhood, and belief ira
God, which inspired our own country's origin, and
is still struggling to build its new nationhood oa
these firm foundations amid great difficulties, al-
though beset by the enemies who attacked the in-
fant state six years ago and refuse to make peace
with it; and
Whereas, Succeeding American administrations,
irrespective of party, have sympathized with and
supported the ideal and reality of Israel's rebirth
for nearly two generations, and the American peo-
ple have pledged their material and moral support
to Israel's growth and prosperity; now therefore
Be It Resolved, That Martin H. Kennelly, Mayor
of the City of Chicago, is hereby requested to pro-
claim the week beginning May 2, 1954 as Israel
_ Independence Week, as a time' of rejoicing and

De Leuw, Gather & Company Consolidated Report
The Chicago Program
On September 18, 1952 the City Council of the City of Chicago adopted an authorizing ordinance for
^rn'i?,^^^?^^^^^^ Facility Revenue Bonds, Series A, in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$50,000,000. Under that authorization, bonds in the amount of $22,600,000 were sold on December 1,
1952 for construction and other expenses in connection with Project A-1, Project A-2, and the balance
of the purchase price of 27,000 parking meters.
Project A-1 consisted of the construction of five parking decks in the Central Business District with
total capacity for 3,879 cars to cost $9,850,000. Sites have been purchased and contracts awarded for
four of these facilities at prices closely approximating the estimates in our report of September 20,
1952. Ground was broken for the first structure on December 9, 1953. Negotiations are being conducted
for the purchase of the remaining site. Design of this structure is essentially complete and according

Also included in Project A-1 was the acquisition of four existing parking lots and the construction
? ono^"^ "^^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^"^^^ ^^^ Halsted shopping center. These lots would provide a total capacity of
l,d02 car spaces at a total cost, before financing expenses, of $1,443,000. Project A-1 included the bal-
ance due on the purchase of 27,000 parking meters of which 22,000 were in operation at the time of the
original bond issue, the balance of 5,000 having been authorized by the City Council. The balance due
on these meters was approximately $1,200,000 when the details of Project A-1 were developed This
amount was reduced to approximately $900,000 by January 1, 1953 when the balance was paid and the
difference remains in the construction account.
The purchase of sites for parking lots at the 63rd and Halsted shopping center was 63 per cent
complete in dollar value as of March 1, 1954. The 27,000 authorized parking meters were in service as
of January 15, 1954.

Program
Th^ facilities recommended for immediate construction include 25 parking lots with a combined ca-
.Hv ?or 2 742 cars and one parking deck with a capacity for 256 cars (to be located m the Broadway-
TawrLce a^Ia? for a total o? 2,998 parking spaces. Table 1 provides a summary of t^e pertmen m-
f .^Tt^o^ for each of the 6 areas including present supply of parkmg space, demand for additional
parkfng space, and capacity of the proposed facilities. The purchase of 3,000 parkmg meters for on-
street installation in 1954 is also recommended.

General Specifications
General specifications for the proposed parking facilities have been filed with the City Clerk of the
City of Chicago, as required by law. These general specifications are similar to those previously sub-
mitted for Project A-1 and Project A-2. The details of these general specifications have been standard-
ized by the City of Chicago Bureau of Engineering and will be applicable to the proposed parking deck
in the Broadway-Lawrence area, herein designated as Facility No. 7.
Parking lots would be improved by the laying of a one and one-half inch asphalt pavement on six
inches of limestone macadam. Wheel stdps of approved design would be installed together with white
painted lines to delineate stalls. Utilities would include adequate drainage and provision for general flood-
lighting of the area. Attractive landscaping would be included, where applicable, so that parked vehi-
cles would be screened and would not detract from the appearance of the neighborhood.
Cost Estimates
Site costs have been variously estimated as set out in detail in each section of the report. In all
instances, two sources of information have been used independently and have been found to be in reason-
able agreement. These sources are local appraisers and Olcott's Blue Book of Land Values.
Estimates of construction cost have been based on current bids for parking facilities Numbers 1,
2, 8, and 9 of Project A-1. In the estimates of cost an allowance is made for engineering and contin-
gencies equal to approximately 20 per cent of the estimated cost of construction of the parking deck. In
the estimates of cost for improving the proposed parking lots, an allowance of 10 per cent of the estimated
construction cost has been made to provide for contingencies and engineering. A summary of cost esti-
mates for Project A-3 is shown in Table 2.
Estimates of Revenue
The results of the various parking surveys form the basis for estimates of potential revenue.
A complete schedule of rates for all of the proposed facilities to be included in Project A-3 is shown
in Table 3. These fees have been established by approximating the prevailing rates in the vicinity of each
proposed facility.
Revenue to be derived from additional parking meters has been conservatively estimated at $75.00
per meter per year. It is further estimated that the 3,000 additional meters will be installed in the cal-
endar year 1954. Revenue estimates are shown In Table 6, starting in 1955.
Estimated revenues include only fees for the parking of cars and do not anticipate any income from
concessions or auxiliary services. A review of the Illinois Revised Cities and Villages Act by legal coun-
sel led to the opinion that only activities directly related to the parking of cars could be permitted in
facilities constructed under terms of the act. This opinion holds that fueling, lubrication, washing or re-
pairing automobiles are activities not directly related to the parking of cars.
It is estimated that the proposed facilities will reach normal operating capacity in 1959 and that
the use of these facilities will increase at the rate of three per cent per year, not compounded, through
the year 1963. Further increases in demand shall be met by furnishing additional facilities. Table 4
sets forth the estimates of gross and net revenues for Project A-3 at the 1959 level.
Maintenance and Operating Expenses
Four methods of operation are proposed for the facilities in. Project A-3. The first method is super-
vised parking with attendants stationed at the entrances to ticket incoming cars and collect fees from
outgoing customers. This type of operation is recommended for facilities with capacity for 75 cars or
more, except for those business areas specifically requesting metered lots.
The second method of operation is through the use of a key-operated gate. This system is recom-
mended for facilities in residential areas, where all parking would be on a monthly basis.
The third method of operation is recommended for small facilities located in residential areas. This
method contemplates the use of a monthly sticker to be placed on the automobile. Roving checkers
would police these facilities. Stickers would be sold by a responsible agency, such as the local police sta-
tion.
The fourth method of fee collection would be through the use of parking meters. These meters
would be supervised by the regular police patrol in the area.
Estimates of maintenance and operating expenses are based on numerous studies and reports, in-
cluding annual reports on similar facilities in other cities. A detailed breakdown of these expenses is
shown in each of the individual sections of the report. The summary of these costs is shown in Table 4
Financial Feasibility
Table 5 sets forth a reconomended bond issue for Project A-3 totaling $4,900,000. Table 6 combines
Projects A-1, A-2, and A-3 in order that the coverage of the entire parking program might be estab-
lished. This table projects these revenues through the year 1963 in order to show anticipated increases
in parking lot usage.
It is contemplated that the bond issue as itemized in Table 5 would bear ah interest rate of approxi-
mately four per cent and that the bonds would mature in 1982.
Table 6 indicates the estimated net revenue for the entire program in each of the first nine years of
operation, beginning in 1955. It is estimated that all of the facilities included in Projects A-1 and A-2
would be in operation in 1955 and all facilities in Project A-3 would be in operation in 1956. The report
for Projects A-1 and A-2, dated September 1952, estimated that the normal operating level for Projects
A-1 and A-2 would be reached in 1958 and that the operating level would be at 85 per cent of normal in
1955, 90 per cent of normal in 1956, and 95 per cent of normal in 1957. It is further estimated that fa-
cilities in Project A-3 would operate at 85 per cent of the normal level in 1956, 90 per cent of normal in

Audit Certificate
To the City Council of the City of
Chicago, Illinois:
We have examined the actual consolidated balance sheet of the Chicago Parking Facilities (pro-
vided for in the Authorizing Ordinance adopted September 18, 1952, as amended, authorizing the Chi-
cago Parking Facility Revenue Bonds) as of December 31, 1953, and the related statements of income
and of funds for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We have read the Authorizing Ordinance
and amendments thereto, and in our opinion, our examination was such as would enable us to express
an informed opinion with respect to the statements referred to herein.
No provision for depreciation of parking facility property is made in the accounts. Costs of replace-
ments are charged as incurred to the operation and maintenance account, in accordance with provisions of
the Authorizing Ordinance.
With the explanation in the preceding paragraph, in our opinion, the accompanying actual consoli-
dated balance sheet and related statements of income and of funds present fairly the financial position
of the Chicago Parking Facilities as of December 31, 1953, and the results of their operations and fund
transactions for the year then ended.

be so graded by cutting or filling and compacted
by rolling with a roller of ten (10) tons weight
that after the grading of the roadbeds is completed
and the pavement herein described placed thereon,
the surface of the finished pavement at the center
of the roadway of each of said specified streets
shall be at the elevation of the top of the curbing
herein described; and the surface of the said fin-
ished pavement at the summits in the gutters be-
tween catchbasins and adjoining the roadway face
of the curbing shall be three (3) inches below the
top of said curbing, and at the catchbasin inlets
in the gutters adjoining the roadway face of the
curbing shall be nine (9) inches below the top of
said curbing: The slope of the gutters adjoining
the roadway face of said curbing shall be uniform
from the summits to the catchbasin inlets.
A transverse section of the surface of the fin-
ished pavement and gutters shall be an arc of a
circle passing through the said gutter elevations
and the elevation of the center of said finished
roadway at every part of the roadway of said
specified streets between the points herein de-
scribed,
In all intersecting alleys herein specified at the
street lines of said specified streets the surface
of the finished pavement adjoining the curbing
shall be even with the top of the curbing, and
the surface of the finished pavement at the center
of the roadways of said alleys shall be three (3)
inches below the top of the curbing; and a trans-
verse section of the surface of the finished pave-
ment at the street lines of said specified streets
shall be an arc of a circle passing through the
surface of the pavement adjoining said curbing and
the surface of the pavement at the center of said
finished roadways. The surface of the said pave-
ment thence shall slope gradually to meet the
surface of the finished pavement at the curb
lines of said specified streets.
On the sub-grade as formed and compacted shall
be spread an insulation course of limestone screen-
ings. Said insulation course shall be one (1) inch
in thickness and shall extend across the full width
of the roadbed.
On the insulation course as formed and com-
pacted shall be spread a foundation course con-
sisting of a layer of crushed limestone or blast
furnace slag of the best quality, broken so as to
pass through a ring of four (4) inches internal
diameter and held on a ring of two (2) inches
internal diameter. The stone or slag as spread
shall be well graded as to sizes. It shall be evenly
distributed so as to leave no pockets filled with
the small size stone or slag. This layer shall be
thoroughly rolled with a self-propelled three-wheel
roller, weighing not less than ten (10) tons. The
rolling shall begin at the edges of the pavement
and the roller shall move parallel with the center
line of the roadway. The roller shall progress grad-
ually toward the center of the roadway, uniformly
lapping each preceding track, covering the entire
surface with the rear wheels and continuing until
the stone or slag does not creep or move ahead
of the roller. After the crushed limestone has been
thoroughly rolled and keyed, hmestone screenings
shall be applied gradually over the surface and
the rolling continued until sufficient screenings
have been applied to completely fill the inter-
stices. If slag is used, then after it has been
thoroughly rolled and keyed, limestone screen-
ings or fine slag shall be applied gradually over
the surface and the rolling continued until suf-
ficient screenings or fine slag have been applied
to completely fill the interstices. The screenings
or fine slag shall be swept in with hand brooms to
properly fill the voids. The spreading and rolling
shall continue until no more screenings or fine
slag will go in dry. No excess of screenings or
fine slag shall be used before applying water.
Immediately after the voids have been filled with
screenings, or fine slag, the macadam shall be
sprinkled until saturated, the sprinkler being fol-
lowed by the roller. More screenings or fine slag
shall be added if necessary. The sprinkling, sweep-
ing and rolling shall continue until a grout shall
be formed of the screenings or fine slag and water
that will fill all voids, and form a wave of grout
before the wheels of the roller. The quantity of
screenings or fine slag and water necessary to
fill the voids shall be determined by the engineer
and shall be sufficient to produce a rough, gran-
ular surface. The rolling, at all times, shall begin
at the sides, and then progress toward the center,
thoroughly covering the entire surface with the
rear wheels. When compacted, this layer shall
measure not less than five (5) inches in thick-
ness.
Upon the finished waterbound macadam base
there shall be uniformly applied by an approved
type of spreader box, two (2) inch stone to a
depth providing a toal base course thickness of
three (3) inches after final compaction. After
shaping to grade and rolling with a ten (10) ton
roller three-quarter (%) inch stone chips shall
be broadcast and broomed into the surface voids
at the rate of fifteen (15) pounds per square
yard. Liquid asphalt at a temperature of 140°
F. shall be uniformly applied by a pressure dis-
tributor at a rate of one and one-half (IV2) gal-
lons per square yard. Stone chips shall again be
broadcast and broomed uniformly over the sur-
face at the rate of fifteen (15) pounds per square
yard. Liquid asphalt shall be uniformly applied
by a pressure distributor at the rate of one-half
(Vz) gallon per square yard. Stone chips shall be
broadcast again at the rate of ten (10) pounds
per square yard. The surface shall then be thor-
oughly rolled. The asphalt shall conform to the
State Specifications for Emulsified Asphalt R.S.I
and R.S.2 page 640 State of Illinois Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction
adopted January 2, 1952.
On the said foundation course shall be placed
an asphaltic concrete surface course two (2) inches
in thickness consisting of an asphaltic concrete
mixture conforming to the standard requirements
of the Illinois State Division of Highways for
Type I-ll Asphaltic Concrete adopted January 2,
1952, as follows: the asphaltic mix shall consist
of a mineral aggregate bonded with an asphaltic
cement. The mineral aggregate shall consist of the
best quality of crushed gravel or crushed stone in
sizes graduated in accordance with the following
table, viz.:

The asphaltic cement shall conform with the
standard requirements of the lUinois State Divis-
ion of Highways for Grade P.A.6, Paving As-
phalt, adopted January 2, 1952. It shall have a
flash point (Cleveland open cup) 500 plus Fahren-
heit. It shall have penetration at seventy-seven
(77) degrees fahrenheit of seventy-five (75) to
eighty-five (85), and at least ninety-nine and five-
tenths (99.5) per cent of the bitumen shall be
soluble in carbon disulphide.
When fifty (50) grams of said paving asphalt
is heated in an uncovered tin box five and one-
half (51 2 ) centimeters in diameter and three and
one-half (SU) centimeters in depth, and is held
at a temperature of three hundred twenty-five
(325) degrees fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then
it shall have lost not over two (2) per cent by
weight and the penetration of the residue thus
obtained shall be not less than seventy (70) per
cent of the penetration before such heating, said
penetration being determined as herein prescribed.
Said paving asphalt shall have a ductihty of not
less than one hundred (100) centimeters being
determined by elongating a briquette Dow form
of said paving asphalt at uniform rate of five
(5) centimeters per minute at a temperature of
seventy-seven (77) degrees fahrenheit.
The paving asphalt and mineral aggregate shall
be mixed when heated between three hundred
(300) and three hundred fifty (350) degrees fah-
renheit in an approved mixer to produce a homo-
geneous mixture in which all particles of aggre-
gate are coated uniformly. The heated mixture
shall be delivered to the pavement in trucks with
approved clean tight dump bodies. The tempera-
ture when delivered at the street shall be between
two hundred fifty (250) and three hundred fifty
(350) degrees fahrenheit. Upon arrival the as-
phaltic mixture shall be spread upon the prepared
base at a uniform depth and consistency so that
the thickness when compacted as herein described
will be two (2) inches. Immediately after the as-
phalt surface course shall be spread it shall be
compacted thoroughly and uniformly with a three
(3) wheel roller or a tandem roller. The asphalt
paving mix shall be dumped first upon approved
steel dump pans outside of the area on which it
is to be spread. Immediately thereafter it shall be
distributed into place with shovels and spread with
rakes in layers of uniform density and correct
depth, unless a spreading machine is used. If a
spreading machine is used it shall be of a type
approved by the Board of Local Improvements.
Immediately after the surface course mixture is
placed it shall be compacted thoroughly and uni-
formly with a three-wheel roller or a tandem
roller. One (1) or more three-wheel rollers, and
one (1) or more tandem rollers will be re-
quired. The actual number of such rollers to be
used shall be determined by the Engineer in ac-
cordance with the progress of the work. If the
production of the asphalt plant delivered to the
pavement exceeds seventy-five (75) tons per hour
additional rollers shall be furnished as directed
by said Engineer. After final rolling the asphalt
surface course shall at all points have a density
of not less than ninety-five (95) per cent of the
maximum possible density of a voidless pavement
composed of the same materials in like proportions.
Where old catchbasins are to be abandoned the
outlet pipe connection from the basin to the sewer
shall be plugged and properly sealed and the
corbel courses broken down and the basin cleaned
and filled with suitable material.
Where concrete crosswalks are built the con-
struction shall be according to the Standard City
Code of the City of Chicago for sidewalks.
Said work is to be done in a workmanhke man-
ner under the superintendence of the Board of
Local Improvements of the said City of Chicago.
Section 2. That the recommendation of the
Board of Local Improvements of the City of Chi-

The following is said ordinance as passed:
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of
Chicago :
Section 1. Section 60-108 of the Municipal Code
of Chicago is amended by substituting for the first
line, as printed, the following:
"Every existing grinding or dust-producing
room and every grinding or dust-producing room
hereafter constructed shall have mechanical";
also by adding to said section the following:
1. General.
a. Where grinding, polishing, buffing, scratch
brushing or abrasive cutting-off wheels.
grinding and polishing straps or belts arc
used in operation producing metallic dust,
there shall be provided in the area where
dusts, vapors, gases or fumes are generated,
hoods that are connected to exhaust systems
which will remove such dusts, vapors, gases
or fumes, and such exhaust systems shall
be operated continuously during any such
operations on aforesaid equipment and such
exhaust systems shall be provided with dust
arresters, collectors, separators or precipita-
tors to collect the dust before the air or
gases from such exhaust systems are dis-
charged therefrom,
b. All exhaust systems used to collect metallic
dust such as aluminum, magnesium or zinc
shall be provided with an interlocking elec-
trical control connected to the exhaust fan
motor and the electric power source for
running polishing, buffing and grinding ma-
chines. The interlock shall be so designed
that in the event of a power failure in con-
nection with the exhaust fan, it will cut out
the power source controlling the polishing,
buffing and grinding equipment. In the event
a wet-type dust collector is made use of,
additional interlocking electrical controls
should be provided in connection with the
water supply, and should be so designed and
installed that in the event of a water flow
failure or inadequate liquid level, there will
be an automatic cut-out of the power sources
controlling the exhaust fan and the polish-
ing, buffing and grinding equipment.
c. All exhaust systems intended for the re-
moval of potentially explosive dusts, other
than those containing magnesium, shall be
provided with either a wet-type dust or a
dry-type separator.
d. In instances where the dusts consist princi-
pally of magnesium or its alloys, a wet-
type collector shall be provided. The exhaust
fan shall be on the clean air side of the
collector.
e. All dry-type separators shall be located on
the outside of the building. The exhaust duct
leading to the separators shall be of the
shortest possible length.
f. The exhaust discharge from all dust arrest-
ers, collectors, separators or precipitators
shall be direct to out-of-doors and at such
a point to preclude the possibility of the re-
entry of the exhaust air into the building
or adjacent buildings.
g. The dust removed in dry-type separators
shall be discharged into enclosures, bins or
receptacles, located on the outside of the
building. Their construction shall be of non-
combustible materials; clean-out doors shall
be provided. Explosion relief vents shall be
provided having a net open area of not
less than one square inch for each 0.7 cubic
foot or fraction thereof. Such vent flue shall
be located not less than ten feet measured
horizontally or vertically from any wall, roof
or opening.
h. Exhaust carrier duct systems shall be clean-
ed at least once a week. Dust collector enclo-
sures or bins and wet-type collector sludge
tanks shall be cleaned daily. The deposits
shall be removed from the premises and dis-
posed of in a safe manner. Under no circum-
stances shall dry particles and/or sludge be
discharged into the sewer. Written records
of cleaning operations shall be maintained on

the premises and shall be open for examina-
tion at all times.
2. Exhaust System Design Requirements:
a. All branch pipes shall enter the header pipe
at an angle of forty-five degrees or less. All
bends, turns or elbows used in exhaust pipes
shall be made with a throat radius of two
pipe diameters except greater or smaller
throat radii may be used to clear obstruc-
tions.
b. All branch pipes shall connect with a header
pipe. The area of the header pipe at any
point shall not be less than the combined
areas of the branch pipes joining it between
such point and the small end of the header.
Such header pipes shall be connected to an
exhaust fan to produce a minimum air veloc-
ity in the branch pipes of 4,500 feet per min-
ute or such greater air velocity reasonably
required to remove dusts, vapors, gases or
fumes generated. Where cradles are used for
handling the parts to be ground, polished or
buffed, or where swing grinders are used,
and large partial enclosures to house the
complete operation are required, the opening
in such enclosures shall have a minimum
average air velocity of 200 feet per minute
and shall be connected to branch pipes of
an exhaust system of such area as to pro-
duce a minimum air velocity of 4,500 feet
per minute in the branch pipes.
c. Dust shall be removed by means of suitable
mechanically exhausted hoods or enclosures
at each operation. Such hoods shall be so
designed, located and placed that the dust
or dirt particles will fall or be projected or
drawn into the hoods in the direction of the
air flow. No wheels, discs, straps or belts
shall be operated in such manner and in
such direction that will cause the dust and
dirt particles to be thrown into the operators
breathing zone.
d. The exhaust outlet of the hoods and the
branch pipes connected thereto, of grinding
wheels on floor stands, pedestals, benches,
swing frames and special purpose grinding
machines and abrasive cutting-off wheels
shall have not less than the following mini-
mum inside diameter:

As you will note from the above, the percent of
service of the total service in each of the differ-
ent classes, switching, freight, through passenger
and suburban passenger services, has remained
fairly constant between 1947 and 1953. The per-
cent of dieselization, however, in each of these
services has varied with switching from 46.8% m
1947 to 95.7% in 1953, to a Passenger low of
62 8% dieselized in 1947 to 80.6% in 1953 This
last figure includes both through and suburban
services. The suburban service itself is only 77.6 7o
dieselized.
The 34 railroads are collectively 92.8% diesel-
ized Of these 34 railroads, 21 are trunk lines
and 13 are switching. Of the 21 trunk Ime rail-
roads, 10 are 100% dieselized in all services Of
the 13 switching railroads, 12 are 100% dieselized.
According to the information received, subse-
quent to your October 21, 1953, meeting, it is ex-
pected that by January, 1955, all trunk Ime rail-
roads will be 100% dieselized in switching service;
all except 4 will be dieselized in freight service ; 6
will be operating coal burning equipment m
through passenger service, and 3 in suburban pas-
senger service.
By January of 1957, it is expected that the only
coal burning service by the trunk line railroads
will be as follows:
g^O. — 3 hours in freight service.
C.&N.W. — 113.5 hours in suburban service.
C.M.St.P.&P. — 75 hours in suburban service.
NYC &St L. — 16 hours in freight and 3
hours in through passen-
ger service.
Of the total of 188.5 hours in suburban service by
2 trunk line railroads, the North Western and the
Milwaukee we have a statement from the North
Western saying that they are increasing their
number of diesel operated suburban trains as fast
as possible but will give us no date as to its com-
pletion.
The Milwaukee Railroad has no definite diesel-
ization program set up as yet. A brief study of
the attached figures is sufficient to show that the
railroads generally have co-operated with your
Committee to the greatest extent possible, con-
sistent with economic limitations.
Alderman Brian J. Ducey introduced a pro-
posed ordinance making it unlawful to operate
any locomotive using coal as fuel withm the lim-
its of the City of Chicago after December 31,
1954 This matter is presently before your Com-
mittee and your staff calls attention to the fore-
going report setting forth the various stages of
dieselization as of the present time and January
1st of each year to 1957.
Respectively submitted,
(Signed) Earl B. Anderson,
Engineer.

Referred — Proposed Ordinance to Amend Sections
4.1, 7, 8, 11 AND 24 OF Text of Chicago Zoning
Ordinance Concerning Provision for Off-
Street Parking in Connection with
Building Construction.
Alderman Pacini (10th Ward) presented a proposed
ordinance to amend the Chicago Zoning Ordinance as
to Sections 4.1, 7, 8, 11 and 24 in reference to off-
street parking facilities in connection with building
construction, etc.; which was Referred to the Com-
mittee on Buildings and Zoning.
Statement by Alderman Pacini.
In connection with the foregoing proposed ordi-
nance Alderman Pacini made the following statement
to the Council:
Mr. Chairman— As Chairman of the Commit-
tee on Buildings and Zoning it is my pleasure to
refer to the Council today a series of amendments
to the off-street parking provisions of the Chi-
cago Zoning Ordinance.
I would like to take this opportunity to express
my enthusiasm over accomplishments of our new
parking and loading ordinance which has already
resulted in thousands of new off-street parking
spaces and loading berths, thereby alleviating con-
gestion in our streets. The Committee on Build-
ings and Zoning and the staff engaged in rezon-
ing the city, however, have found that some of
the parking provisions adopted last year have
tended to create hardships and discrimination,
and the amendments which have been placed on
your desks today represent our attempts to cope
with the major sources of complaint.
In order to acquaint you with the basic propos-
als we are submitting for your consideration to-
day, I would like to summarize for you our prin-
cipal recommendations as follows:
1. We are proposing that the present ex-
emptions from the parking requirements now
granted certain areas be removed entirely to
the end that there would be no exempt areas
in the city. The present zoning ordinance is
not set up to deal adequately with these exemp-
tions without discriminating against other areas
not exempted which have the same zoning clas-
sification. We believe, therefore, that there is
serious danger of losing our entire parking or-
dinance if we continue to exempt these areas.
2. We are recommending that the present
requirements for many business and commer-
cial uses be relaxed — especially in the high den-
sity Volume 3 and Volume 4 districts. Our
new proposed requirements would therefore be
graduated for these uses as well as for hospit-
als so that the requirements would be strictest
m the Volumes 1 and 2 Districts and lightest in
the Volume 4 District. We believe it is unrea-
sonable to require the same parking schedules
for these uses in the high density areas, which
are very much better served by public trans-
portation and public parking facilities, as are
required in the outlying areas of the city. To
apply the same standards for parking to the
high density areas as to the low density areas
IS to discourage building and invite lawsuits.
3. A third proposal concerns the parking
requirements for existing uses or structures
which expand their operations or enlarge the
physical plant. At present, if these uses ex-
pand by more than 15 per cent, they are re-
quired to furnish parking not only for the
amount of expansion but also for the entire
use or building. We feel this is an unreason-
able and harsh requirement and are proposing
instead that expanded uses and enlarged build-
ings be required to furnish parking facilities
for the amount of increase only.
4. Our fourth proposal is to exempt those
existing residential lots 33 feet or less in width
for which no alley has been dedicated to the
rear from the parking requirements of the zon-
ing ordinance. Since these lots are without the
usual means of access for parking purposes the
only remaining solution would be to allow park-
ing in the front yard which we strenuously
oppose as unsound planning and a potential
blighting influence.
5. Our fifth proposal is to eliminate from
the present screening requirements parking
areas for less than five cars when located on
the same lot as a one — or two — family dwelling
or group house. To require screening for only
a few cars on the same lot as a dwelling seems
to us unduly severe.
6. Our next recommendation has to do with
parking lots allowed as Special Uses in the
Apartment Districts by the Board of Appeals
' if
7526
JOURNAI^-CITY COUNCII^CHICAGO
May 11, 1954
We believe that this encourages rezoning from
more restricted residential districts to Apart-
ment Districts for purposes of allowing a park-
ing lot. We are therefore proposing that the
Board of Appeals be granted the power to allow
such uses not only in an Apartment District,
but also in all the other residential districts.
7. Our next proposal concerns parking areas
which have been voluntarily provided by own-
ers of existing buildings which do not come
under the parking requirements of the zoning
ordinance. The regulations state that such vol-
untary parking areas may not be reduced be-
low the level required for similar new buildings.
While this is sound in principle, we find it may
work a hardship on the man who has tempo-
rarily provided such voluntary parking on a
vacant lot which he later expects to build on.
We therefore recommend that spaces voluntar-
ily provided be required to remain in effect
when located on the same lot as the building
served, but propose that owners be granted the
right to dispose of such spaces when located on
a lot away from the building.
8. Finally in order to encourage voluntary
parking facilities among existing apartment
buildings, we propose to permit such facilities
to locate off -site within 300 feet just as new
apartment buildings are permitted to do. The
present regulations allow such parking to be
located only on the same lot as the main build-
ing or on a lot adjacent thereto unless the
Board of Appeals authorizes a more distant
location.
These in substance are our basic recommenda-
tions which have been submitted to you today.
Other minor changes in the text of the ordinance
are indicated and are designed to clarify the lan-
guage or to facilitate 'administration.
In conclusion, I want to emphasize that these
amendments are interim proposals only — designed
to make the parking regulations more workable
within the framework of the present zoning ordi-
nance. These proposed amendments will be re-
ferred immediately to the Chicago Street Traffic
Commission, The Chicago Plan Commission, and
other interested groups before an early public
hearing.
We are, at present, diligently at work prepar-
ing for Chicago a new zoning ordinance which
will incorporate an entirely new and up-to-date
set of zoning districts. New parking provisions
tailor-made to fit the new zoning districts will
comprise one section of the zoning ordinance and
we expect these requirements to be an even better
answer to Chicago's automobile problem than the
parking regulations of the present ordinance.

Gentlemen :
- Revision No. 3 to Redevelopment Plan for the Ny-
lic Area of Redevelopment Project No. 1.
This letter submits a proposed Revision No. 3
to the Redevelopment Plan for the Nylic Area of
Redevelopment Project No. 1.
7530
JOURNAI^-CITY COUNCn^-CHICAGO
May 11, 1954
As you know, the Redevelopment Plan was
formally submitted by our letter of June 29, 1950.
Revision No. 1 was submitted to permit the wid-
ening of E. 35th Street as desired by the responsi-
ble local governmental agencies and was approved
by City Ordinance of May 28, 1953. Revision No.
2 involved the widening of South Park Way im-
mediately north of E. 25th Street and vi^as ap-
proved by City Ordinance of October 28, 1953.
In the Plan submitted June 29, 1950, the public
school and park sites were located immediately
north of the Chicago Memorial Hospital with
frontage on E. 33rd Street. It is now the desire
of both the Board of Education of Chicago and
the Chicago Park District to change the location
of the school and park to front on E. 31st Street
immediately west of the Illinois Central Railroad
right of way and extending south from E. 31st
Street. In addition, it is our understanding that
the City of Chicago has decided to widen E. 31st
Street and make it a limited access highway. To
comply with these changes it is necessary to re-
locate the access roads south from E. 31st Street
into the Nylic Area. The City of Chicago is also
restricting the number of cross streets with Traf-
fic lights on South Park Way and is permitting
only the E. 33rd Street intersection between E.
31st and E. 35th Streets on South Park Way. Ac-
cordingly, the Plan is also hereby amended to pro-
vide that E. 33rd Street is to remain open between
South Park Way and the east line of vacated S.
Rhodes Avenue. Of course, the thoroughfare ar-
rangement will be such that vehicular traffic will
not elect to use the project site as a throughvs^ay
route, as shown on this revision to the Plan.
Accordingly, there is submitted herewith six
prints of the proposed amendment to the Site
■ Plan, entitled "Redevelopment Plan, Revision No.
3, April 15, 1954", incorporating these changes,
for your approval and, if approved by you, for
submission by you to the City Council and the
State Housing Board. Inasmuch as there is great
urgency for the improvement of the designated
areas for the park and school and the land is
ready for conveyance for those purposes, these
proposed changes in the Redevelopment Plan_ f or
the Nylic Area should be approved at this time.
The company's original submission of the Rede-
velopment Plan on June 29, 1950 was preceded by
very extensive and costly architectural studies.
Until the changed locations of the park and school
together with the changed access roads to E. 31st
Street and South Park Way intersection at E.
33rd Street have been formally approved, the com-
pany does not feel justified in proceeding with
the further detailed architectural studies made
necessary by these changes. When these changes,
desired by the Board of Education, the Park Dis-
trict, and the Department of Streets and High-
ways, have been formally approved by all the var-
ious governmental agencies concerned, the Com-
pany will then initiate the necessary additional
architectural studies. It will then be possible for
us to prepare and submit for approval further
changes in the street pattern and the site plan,
including specific location of buildings. At this
time it has been difficult for us to establish a
thoroughfare plan. The specific location of build- -
ings and other changes resulting therefrom will
be submitted to the Chicago Land Clearance Com-
mission for their approval and for their submis-
sion to the City Council and the State Housing
Board for their approval prior to the Conveyance
of the land involved.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Otto L. Nelson, Jr.
Vice President in
Charge of Housing.

Whereas, The founding Fathers of this nation
believed in the concept of government under God;
and
Whereas, The leaders and peoples of this coun-
try have been guided in the management of its
affairs by the precepts of rehgion; and
Whereas, The doctrine of a separation of Church
and State does not in any way require the separ-
ation of a belief in God from loyalty to the na-
tion; and
Whereas, Belief in God is a firm foundation
for loyalty and devotion to the nation; and
Whereas, A bill is now pending before Congress
of the United States providing for an amendment
to the pledge of allegiance to the flag, by including
therein the words "Under God"; and
Whereas, The addition of these words would
improve the pledge of allegiance and give utterance
to the unspoken inner thoughts of the overwhelm-
ing majority of the American people ;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago that the Congress of the
United States be memorialized to pass the said
bill as expeditiously as possible; and

Whereas, Chief Barrett was well known in civic
affairs, having been affiliated with the Firemen's
Post of the American Legion, Fraternal Order of
Eagles, and the Blind Boy Scouts, which was his
special interest; and
Whereas, Chief Barrett had a sympathetic and

the City of Chicago to construct the Central Dis-
trict Filtration Plant on public land submerged

the evidence and the law decided all of the issues
in favor of the City and in favor of the City's
authority to construct the plant at the site selected
by your Honorable Body.
"Since the plaintiffs are permitted fifteen days in
which to file notice of intention to apply for re-
hearing the decision will not be final until that

been disposed of.
"We shall advise you at a later date as to the
final disposition of this matter."

Supreme Court of Illinois, in the case entitled
American Civil Liberties, et al. v. City of Chicago,

held that Chapter 155 of the Municipal Code of

tutional.
"We transmit herewith a copy of the opipion ren-
dered in that case."

"Re: George Eleopoulos et al. Appellant, vs.
City of Chicago, Appellee.
Supreme Court No. 33031.
"Gentlemen — We are pleased to report that the
Supreme Court of lUinois, on Monday, May 24, 1954
entered judgment in the above-entitled cause, af-
firming the judgment of the Circuit Court which
held valid the Chicago Zoning Ordinance in so far
as it prohibits the use of plaintiff's vacant property,
located at the Southwest corner of Montrose Ave-
nue and Marine Drive, as a site for a mobile
kitchen.
"The court in its opinion sustains the City's posi-
tion holding (1) That the zoning ordinance as
applied to the particular use is a valid exercise
by the City Council of powers conferred by the Re-
■ vised Cities and Villages Act and is related to the
public safety and welfare, and (2) that the plain-
tiffs had failed to sustain the burden of proving
that their use was a legal nonconforming use. A
copy of the opinion is attached.
"The plaintiffs have fifteen days within which to
file a petition for rehearing."
— Referred to the Committee on Buildings and Zoning.
Decision of Illinois Supreme Court Upholding Deci-
sion of Board of Appeals (Zoning) Refusing
Issuance of Certain Building Permit.

cil under date of May 25, 1954, signed by L. Louis
Karton, Head of Appeals and Review Division, read-
ing as follows:
"Re: Marshall Wechter, Appellant, vs. Zoning
Board of Appeals et al., Supreme Court
of Illinois. No. 32972.
"Gentlemen— The Supreme Court of Illinois on
May 24, 1954, affirmed the judgment of the Circuit
Court of Cook County which had affirmed the zon-
ing board of appeals' decision affirming the action
of the building commissioner in refusing the plain-
tiff's application for a building permit. The plain-
tiff had purchased a two-story brick building at
1800-04 N. Larrabee Street for the purpose of con-
ducting therein a business of spraying paint and
protective coatings on metal parts or fabrications
manufactured elsewhere. The premises had been
zoned "commercial" by the 1923 zoning ordinance
and reclassified as "business" by the 1942 ordin-
ance At the time of the 1923 ordinance a tinsmith s
shop occupied the first floor and a carpenter's
woodworking shop occupied the second floor.
"The plaintiff contended that inasmuch as the
premises had been devoted to a manufacturing use
prior to the 1923 ordinance, he had a right to con-
tinue to use it for a manufacturing use as a con-
• tinuation of a pre-existing non-conforming use. The
court disagreed with his contention and sustained
the City's position that paint spraying was not the
same as the original non-confoi-ming uses. The
court held that the zoning ordinance was not shown
to be arbitrary, capricious or unrelated to the pub-
lic safety, health and morals and was therefore
not arbitrary and void.

"Gentlemen — Transmitted herewith is opinion
of the Illinois Supreme Court in the case of People
ex rel. Brenza vs. Chromium Corporation of Amer-
ica.
"This case involved an objection to the 1949 tax
rate of the City of Chicago, which contested a sum
in excess of $5,000,000.00 of the City's 1949 tax
levy on the theory that this sum which was held by
the County Treasurer for tax refunds should have
been considered as available for use by the City in
1949. The City's theory, which was accepted by the
Trial Court, was that these monies, having been
earmarked by the County Treasurer for a definite
purpose could not have been made available to the
City in time for 1949 expenditure. The Supreme
Court accepted this view and affirmed the lower
Court's ruling.
"The tax objectors have notified this office of an
intention to apply for rehearing in the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court's opinion is therefore
not final and will not become so until action has

JOURNAI^CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
June 2, 1954
a report herewith transmitted prepared by a Sub-
committee of Your Committee on Health which was
directed to study all aspects of water fluoridation
and to report its findings, and that Your Honorable
Body do adopt the proposed resolution attached
to this minority report.

The proposed resolution attached to the forego-
ing minority report reads as follows:
Resolution
Whereas, it has been proved, both through the
medium of scientific testing and through the many
years of actual practical experience of various
municipalities throughout the country, that the
presence of fluorides in the drinking water sup-
plied the public has a known beneficial effect upon
the condition of the teeth of the entire population
both in adults and in children, but particularly in
the case of children ; and
Whereas, the Illinois Department of Public
Health encourages and urges the addition of fluor-
ides to public water supplies so as to maintain an
optimum fluoride level of 1.0 to 1.5 parts per mil-
lion in communities in which the fluoride level
is below that percentage ; and
Whereas, it has been determined on the basis of
study and investigation that this element is not
found in the present supply of water distributed
to the people of Chicago ; and
Whereas, long term studies made at such di-
vM-gent points as Grand Rapids, Michigan; New-
burg, New York; Brantford, Ontario, and Evans-
ton, Illinois, have demonstrated that the addition
of one part of fluorine to one million parts of water
supplied to said municipalities, reduced the inci-
dence of dental caries in the permanent teeth of
children as much as from 46.2 to 77 percent and
has produced no deleterious effect of any kind on
any persons located in said municipalities who have
been drinking the water so fortified; and
Whereas, approval of the introduction of fluo-
rides into the water supply of the City of Chicago
has been given by the American Medical Associa-
tion, Chicago Medical Society, American Dental
Association, Chicago Dental Society, the U. S.
Public Health Service, the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, Chicago Board of Health,
the Cook County Department of Public Health, the
Illinois Department of Public Health and the
American Water Works Association; and
Whereas, as a result of a resolution introduced in
the City Council on October 31, 1951, by Alderman
Alfred J. Cilella (36), a Special Sub-Committee
of the Health Committee was appointed to study
the entire public health matter of fluoridation ; and
Whereas, this Sub-Committee has carried on ex-
tensive investigations (its Chairman also has vis-
ited several municipalities which have fluoridated
their water supplies), has conducted numerous
highly publicized public hearings at which ample
opportunity was given to all citizens to express
their opinions, sentiments, and scientific data; and
Whereas, this Sub-Committee has found that
"fiuoridation is not harmful", that fluoridation
is beneficial", and the cost is nominal and within
the general capabilities of the City of Chicago ; and
Whereas, Nine hundred and sixty-one other
American communities have added fluorine to their
water supplies and now are experiencing reduc-
tions in dental decay; and
Whereas, Fluoridation also has been approved
by the office of the Surgeon General of the U. S.
Army, National Institute of Dental Research,
American Public Health Association, Association
of State and Territorial Health Officers and Com-
mission on Chronic Illness; and
Whereas, there are more than 1,127,000 chil-
dren who now can benefit from fluoridation benefits
which will carry over into and throughout their
adult life; and
Whereas, the Corporation of the City of Chicago
has ruled that:
"It is our opinion that the use of fluoride in the
water supply of Chicago as a health measure
under scientific control would not violate any
constitutional or other legal rights of any water
users"; and
Whereas, the trend of public sentiment and de-
mand preponderately is in favor of the fluoridation
of the present supply of drinking water provided
in the Chicago area; and
Whereas, only in compliance with the regula-
tions of the Illinois Department of Public Health
and only after engineering plans and specifications
and methods of operation incidental to such a pro-
ject have been approved by said Illinois Depart-
ment of Public Health, can any program for the
fluoridation of Chicago's water be put into oper-
ation ;
Now, therefore, be it resolved. That the fluorida-
tion of the water supplied for drinking purposes
through the Chicago waterworks system is hereby
declared to be in the interests of the public health,
and that steps for the introduction of fluoride m
a concentration adeqate for safety and in accord-
ance with the regulations prescribed by the Illinois
Department of Public Health be undertaken by the
City of Chicago through its Department of Water
and Sewers with the cooperation of the Chicago
Board of Health by January 1, 1955.
On motion of Alderman Bohling the City Clerk
was directed to publish the report of the Subcom-
mittee on Fluoridation in pamphlet form.

Fluoridation of Chicago's Water Supply Declared to
Be in Interests of Public Health, and Institution
of Process Directed to Be Undertaken
by January 1, 1955.
On motion of Alderman Cilella the City Council
took up for consideration the report of the Committee
on Health deferred and published June 2, 1954, page
7671, recommending that the City Council Place on
File a proposed resolution presented by Alderman
Cilella (referred October 31, 1951, page 1161) for a
study of the matter of adding fluorides to the water
supply of the City of Chicago.
Alderman Cilella moved to substitute for the com-
mittee's report the minority report submitted by
him and other members of the Committee on Health
on June 2, 1954 (published on pages 7671-7672 of the
Journal of the Proceedings of that date), and to
adopt the proposed resolution recommended in (and
transmitted with) said minority report (which pro-
posed resolution Alderman Cilella stated had been
prepared and submitted by him).
Alderman DuBois, seconded by Alderman McKier-
nan, moved to refer to the Committee on Finance
said proposed resolution recommended in the minority
report.
Alderman Cilella moved to lay the motion to refer
on the table. The motion to lay on the table prevailed,
by yeas and nays as follows :
Yeas — Aldermen D'Arco, Harvey, Carey, Cohen,
Merriam, Muir, Pacini, Nowakowski, Zelezinski,
Micek, Campbell, Bonk, Janousek, Tourek, Deutsch,
Marzullo, Bieszczat, Sain, Gillespie, Ronan, Keane,

port and to adopt the proposed resolution recom-
mended in said minority report, the vote thereon was
as follows:
Yeas — Aldermen D'Arco, Harvey, Carey, Cohen,
Merriam, Muir, Bohling, Pacini, Nowakowski, Zelezin-
ski, Micek, Campbell, Bonk, Janousek, Tourek,
Deutsch, Marzullo, Bieszczat, Sain, Gillespie, Ronan^
Keane, Rostenkowski, Brandt, Geisler, Peska, Cilella,

meister, Young, Hoellen, Freeman, Bremer — 37.
Nays — Aldermen Dubois, Burke, Sheridan, Murphy,
Corcoran, McKiernan, Petrone, Jacobs — 8.
The following in said resolution as adopted :
Whereas, It has been proved, both through the
medium of scientific testing and through the many
years of actual practical experience of various
municipalities throughout the country, that the
presence of fluorides in the drinking water supplied
the public has a known beneficial effect upon the
condition of the teeth of the entire population both
in adults and in children, but particularly in the
case of children ; and
Whereas, The Illinois Department of Public
Health encourages and urges the addition of flu-
orides to public water supplies so as to maintain an
optimum fluoride level of 1.0 to 1.5 parts per million
in communities in which the fluoride level is below
that percentage ; and
Whereas, It has been determined on the basis of
study and investigation that this element is not
found in the present supply of water distributed to
the people of Chicago ; and
Whereas, Long-term studies made at such diver-
gent points as Grand Rapids, Michigan; Newburg
New York; Brantford, Ontario; and Evanston!
Illmois, have demonstrated that the addition of one
part of fluorine to one million parts of water sup-
plied to said municipalities reduced the incidence of
dental caries in the permanent teeth of children as
much as from 46.2 to 77 percent and has produced
no deleterious effect of any kind on any persons lo-
cated in said municipalities who have been drinking
the water so fortified; and
Whereas, Approval of the introduction of flu-
orides into the water supply of the City of Chicago
has been given by the American Medical Associa-
tion, Chicago Medical Society, American Dental
Association, Chicago Dental Society, the U. S. Pub-
lic Health Service, the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers, Chicago Board of Health, the Cook
County Department of Public Health, the Illinois
Department of Public Health and the American
Water Works Association; and
Whereas, As a result of a resolution introduced
in the City Council on October 31, 1951, by Alder-
7714
JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
June 16, 1954
man Alfred J. Cilella (36), a Special Subcommittee
of the Health Committee was appointed to study the
entire public health matter of fluoridation; and
Whereas, This Subcommittee has carried on ex-
tensive investigations (its Chairman also has vis-
ited several municipalities which have fluoridated
their water supplies), has conducted numerous
highly publicized public hearings at which ample
opportunity was given to all citizens to express
their opinions, sentiments, and scientific data; and
Wherkas, This Subcommittee has found that "flu-
oridation is not harmful", that " fluoridation is
beneficial", and the cost is nominal and within the
general capabilities of the City of Chicago; and
Whereas, Nine hundred and sixty-one other
American communities have added fluorine to their
water supplies and now are experiencing reductions
in dental decay; and
Whereas, Fluoridation also has been approved
by the office of the Surgeon General of the U. S.
Army, National Institute of Dental Research,
American Public Health Association, Association
of State and Territorial Health Officers and Com-
mission on Chronic Illness; and
Whereas, There are more than 1,127,000 chil-
dren who now can benefit from fluoridation — bene-
fits which will carry over into and throughout their
adult life; and
Whereas, The Corporation Counsel of the City
of Chicago has ruled that:
"It is our opinion that the use of fluoride in the
water supply of Chicago as a health measure un-
der scientific control would not violate any con-
stitutional or other legal rights of any water
users" ;
and
Whereas, The trend of pubhc sentiment and de-
mand preponderately is in favor of the fluoridation
of the present supply of drinking water provided
in the Chicago area; and
Whereas, Only in compliance with the regula-
tions of the Illinois Department of Health and only
after engineering plans and specifications and
methods of operation incidental to such a project
have been approved by said Illinois Department
of Public Health, can any program for the fluorida-
tion of Chicago's water be put into operation ;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the fluori-
dation of the water supplied for drinking purposes
through the Chicago waterworks system is hereby
declared to be in the interests of the public health,
and that steps for the introduction of fluoride in a
concentration adequate for safety and in accord-
ance with the regulations prescribed by the Illinois
Department of Public Health be undertaken by the
City of Chicago through its Department of Water
and Sewers with the cooperation of the Chicago
Board of Health by January 1, 1955.

essity to operate as a motor carrier along the Con-

"and be it further
"Ordered, that the Chicago Transit Authority be
requested to work out transfer privileges with said

Alderman Sheridan moved to reconsider the fore-
going vote. The motion was lost. (Alderman Bohling
requested that it be noted in the record that he
voted "Yea" on the motion to reconsider. )
The following is said order as passed:
Whereas, On or about May 12, 1954 Bluebird
Coach Lines, Inc., filed with the Illinois Commerce
Commission (Docket No. 41745) a petition en-
titled:
"In the matter of the application of Bluebird
Coach Lines, Inc., for a certificate of convenience
and necessity to operate as a motor carrier for
the transportation of persons and propery be-
tween the cities of Aurora and Chicago, lUinois,
on the Congress Street Super Highway, and other
highways,"
describing the portion of the proposed route within
the city of Chicago as follows :
"* * * thence in an Easterly direction along
State Route 56 to the connecting road to the
Congress Street Super Highway ; thence East on
the Congress Street Super Highway to a road
connecting with Wacker Drive in the City of
Chicago- thence North on Wacker Drive to Ran-
dolph Street and the entrance to the lower level
of Wacker Drive; thence Northeasterly along
the lower level of Wacker Drive to Garvey Court;
thence South on Garvey Court to the entrance
of the new Greyhound Terminal; thence into
the lower level of said Greyhound Terminal; and
returning via the same routes.";
Whereas, This application to the Illinois Com-
merce Commission raises the question of how the
Congress Street Superhighway and the West bide
Subway from a point near S. Canal Street to the
west city limits as being constructed jointly by
the City, County, State and Chicago Transit Au-
thority and as extended beyond the city limits by
the County and State and Chicago Transit Au-
thority, will operate to the best advantage of all
the people concerned;
Whereas, The City of Chicago has expended
approximately $75,000,000 in the construction of
the Initial System of Subways consisting of the
State Street Subway and the Milwaukee-Dearborn-
Congress Subway which are now in operation by
the Chicago Transit Authority, and the City is
now constructing an extension to this system of
subways known as the West Side Subway at a cost
of approximately $25,000,000 ;
Whereas. This subway is being extended west-
ward beyond the city limits to a point near Des-
plaines Avenue in Forest Park, Illinois ;
Whereas, A connection by a bus service to this
Desplaines Avenue terminal and transfer to the
rapid transit service will allow and provide faster
transportation and better distribution of passen-
gers than if such bus service continued over the
Congress Street Expressway to the Central busi-
ness district; and
Whereas, A continuation of the bus service to
the central business district would add to the con-
gestion in the central terminal area in Chicago
which congestion the City is trying to reduce by
building said subways and rapid transit facilities;
therefore be it
Ordered, That the Corporation Counsel shall file
on behalf of the City a petition in said proceeding
Docket No. 41745 for leave to intervene and be
treated as a party thereto and, when allowed to
intervene, shall vigorously oppose the issuance ot
any order by the Illinois Commerce Commission
authorizing the granting of a certificate of con-
venience and necessity for the operation ot a
motorbus service over, along and upon the Con-
gress Street Superhighway east of Desplaines

ation, repair, demolition, or removal and safety

tion, or of such other departments, or officers of

ceipt of such a refusal, the said applicant may

inclusive will be sufficient to cover the extension of
he Roscoe System and therefore no change in the

ommended at this time.

Whereas, A great many of our loyal policemen
and firemen have been killed while they were in

Whereas, The families of the policemen and fire-
men have consequently suffered great losses, not
only in the loss of their loved ones, but in their
means of support; and
Whereas, In the year 1929 the General Assem-
bly of the State of Illinois passed an Act common-
ly known as the Policemen's and Firemen's Death
Benefit Act, which Act permitted the City Council
of any city to provide for the payment of an al-
lowance of money not to exceed the sum of ten
thousand dollars ($10,000.00) for the use of the
widows and children of a deceased policeman or
fireman killed while in the performance of his
duty; and
Whereas, There has been a great increase in
the cost of living since the passage of this Act in
1929; Now, Therefore, Be It
Resolved hy the City Council of the City of
Chicago, That this Council place itself on record
as recommending and requesting that the General
Assembly of the State of Illinois, at its session to
be held in the year 1955, amend the section of the
Statutes of Illinois known as Section 867, Chapter
24, of the Illinois Revised Statutes 1953, by in-
creasing the total amount which may be paid as
set forth in such section to fifteen thousand dol-
lars ($15,000.00), to be used for the same pur-
poses and in the same manner as is presently set

after more fully described, and found that it is a

than two (2) acres where buildings or improve-
ments, by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence,

of ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, exces-
sive land coverage, deleterious land use or layout,

mental to the public safety, health, morals or wel-
fare; and
Whereas, redevelopment of said area will be in
accordance with a redevelopment plan or plans to
be approved by the Commission, the City Counc 1
of the City of Chicago and the State Housing
Board; and
Whereas, Section 13 of the Blighted Areas Re-
development Act of 1947 provides that whenever
a commission determines that a particular slum or
bUghted area as defined in said Act, should be
acquired pursuant to the provisions of said Act,
such determination shall be evidenced by a resolu-
tion adopted by the Commission, and a certified
copy thereof shall be delivered to the State Hous-
ing Board and to the governing body of the mu-
nicipality in which the area concerned is situated,

ment Act of 1947, and the City Council desires to
give such approval, all to the end that the eradica-
tion and redevelopment of slum and blighted areas

cies availing themselves of such financial assist-
ance, including among other things: (1) the ap-
proval of the redevelopment plan by the governing

ated, with appropriate findings (a) that financial
aid by the Federal Government is necessary, (b)

ment areas in the locality will afford maximum op-
portunity, consistent with the sound needs of the
locahty as a whole, for the redevelopment of such
areas by private enterprise, and (c) that the re-
development plan conforms to a general plan for

(Narrative)
The Redevelopment Plan for Project No. 6A
February 23, 1954.
Project No. 6A is bounded on the north by E.
29th Street, on the East by S. Michigan Avenue, on
the south by E. 31st Street, and on the west by
S. State Street. This project is the southwest
portion of a larger redevelopment area bounded on
the north by E. 26th Street, on the east by S.
South Park Way, on the south by E. 31st Street,
and on the west by S. State Street. There are 27.3
gross acres in Project No. 6A.
The Redevelopment Plan consists of the follow-
ing items:
1. Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1
2. Zoning Map, Exhibit 2
3. Rights-of-Way Adjustment Map, Exhibit 3
4. This Narrative Statement
A. Relation to Local Planning Objectives.
The Chicago Plan Commission proposals for
general land use in the south side and Project Area
6A are stated in a booklet entitled "A Plan for
the South Central Area of Chicago," published in
1950. That plan calls for residential redevelopment
of the project area. The area north of 29th Street
is to remain a light industrial section; the area
east of Michigan Avenue is scheduled for continued
residential use; the area south of 31st Street is
now being redeveloped with residential buildings by
the Illinois Institute of Technology; west of State
Street is an 800 dwelling unit public housing proj-
ect (Dearborn Homes).
The general plan for major thoroughfares con-
templates the widening of State Street, Michigan
Avenue, and 31st Street. Both State Street and
Michigan Avenue are needed as major north-south
thoroughfares, to accommodate the volume of
vehicular traffic between the central business dis-
trict and the southwest, south, and southeast parts
July 28. 1954
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
8089
of tlie city. Thirty-first Street is to be widened
between its eastern terminus (the Outer Drive)
and the south route of the Expressway, to be lo-
cated at its intersection with 31st Street approxi-
mately one-half mile west of State Street.
B. Land Use Plan.
As shown on the Land Use Plan, the land in
Project No. 6A is to be devoted to four major
uses, plus streets and alleys. These major land
uses are :
1. Light Industrial. — The light industrial dis-
trict, at the northeastern corner of the project
area, consists of four existing establishments
which are to remain.
2. Religious Institutional. — The St. James
church, school, playground, and convent are to
remain.
3. Elevated Railway. — The Chicago Transit
Authority elevated railway, running north-south
between State Street and Wabash Avenue, is to
remain. It is hoped that ultimately, possibly in
connection with the widening of State Street,
this transit line can be relocated, either as a
subway or in an open cut in the center of State
Street.
4. Residential and Related Park-playground
and Convenience Shops. — The residential, con-
venience shops, and park-playground uses are
new uses to be constructed by redevelopers on
cleared land.
Major controls for various types of land use are
shown on the Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1.

1. Circulation and Public Transportation.
State Street is to be widened eastward, into the
project area, as far as the Chicago Transit Author-
ity elevated right-of-way and will then be approxi-
mately 200 feet wide. Michigan Avenue is to be-
come 150 feet wide by a 70-foot widening eastward
outside of the project area. Thirty-first Street is to
be widened 34 feet, 17 feet into the project area
and 17 feet to the south of the existing right-of-
way, as a part of the program to convert that
street into a 100-foot, limited-access street from
the Outer Drive at its eastern terminus to the
south route of the expressway. The expressway-
31st Street intersection is to be located about one-
half mile west of State Street.
The interior circulation pattern consists of Wa-
bash Avenue, a short street connecting Wabash
with Michigan, and two cul-de-sacs. Wabash Ave-
nue is being retained for several important reasons.
Under the street pavement are several major
utility lines which should be retained. (If they
were retained under an easement no buildings
could be built over them.) Wabash Avenue in
the north end of the project area is needed for
access to light industrial buildings to be retained
at that end of the project and for access to the St.
James church and school buildings. Wabash Ave-
nue is to be closed at a point between 29th and
31st Streets when alternative traffic capacity is
provided by the widening of State Street or by
1964, whichever is earlier. Site plans for the area
will take this into account, so that when the alter-
native traffic capacity is provided, Wabash Avenue
can be closed without inconvenience to the occu-
pants of any structures in the project area.
The other interior streets are designed to provide
sufficient frontage for sale of row-houses in accord-
ance with Federal Housing Administration re-
quirements, and to minimize division of the resi-
dential area.
The project area is and will continue to be served
by excellent public transportation to all parts of
the city, including buses, street cars, and elevated-
subway trains.
The north-south elevated-subway line between
State Street and Wabash Avenue has a station at
33rd Street. This line has transfer points at all
major cross streets and connects with other sub-
way and elevated lines in the central business dis-
trict. A north-south streetcar line operates on
State Street and provides transportation to the
city boundaries. On Michigan Avenue a bus line
connects to facilities in the central business dis-
trict, and to lines operating to the north and the
southwest sections of the City. A bus line also
operates on 31st Street.
2. Residential Uses.
A total of approximately 220 dwelling units will
be constructed in the project area. A minimum of
85 and a maximum of 100 two-story row houses
are to be constructed on 5.6 acres of land. Net
density in the row house area will be approximate-
ly 18 dwelling units per acre. The 2.0 acres speci-
fied for elevator apartments will be used for a
minimum of 120 and a maximum of 140 dwelling
units. Although the net density in the segment of
the project to be used for elevator apartments will
be 60 dwelling units per acre, it is noted that the
apartment building can be adjacent to the park-
playground. Net density for the entire residential
area of 8.8 acres including the park-playground,
the row house area, and the elevator apartment
8090
JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
July 28, 1954
area, is 25 dwelling units per acre. The row houses
will be sold to individual owners and the apart-
ments will be rented.
The street plan for the row house area eliminates
the need for local access from Michigan Avenue
and 31st Street, peripheral major traffic arteries.
The land between Wabash and the elevated tracks
can be utilized for an elevator apartment building
without cutting it with streets. The remainder of
the land between Wabash Avenue and the elevated
tracks is to be left open and used for off-street
automobile parking and for a small park-play-
ground.
3. Commercial.
Land for a small convenience shop building i3
specified on the Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1. There
will be a need for a grocery store, drug store, and
one or two other convenience shops to serve the
residents of the project area and those of the
residential buildings on the campus of the Illinois
Institute of Technology. Major goods can be pur-
chased at the new shopping center under construc-
tion in Project No. 1 at 35th Street and South
Park Way, or in the central business district.
4. Recreation.
A 1.2 acre park-playground is to be constructed
on land between the elevated tracks and Wabash
Avenue. Assuming 3.5 persons for each of the
220 dwelling units or a total population of 770
persons, that size park-playground will be ade-
quate for the residents of the 220 dwelling units.
The closest community park will be the one to be
constructed adjacent to Dunbar Trade School at
29th Street and Calumet Avenue. That park will
contain about 18 acres and will extend as far as
existing Indiana Avenue, one block east of the
project area,
5. Churches, Schools, and Municipal Services.
As noted above, the St. James church, school,
playground, will remain in the project area. It is
intended that one-tenth of an acre be added to the
St. James playground adjacent to 29th Street at
the elevated tracks. The school has recently been
enlarged to meet more adequately the needs of the
community. Many other church facilities besides
the St. James group are located in this section of
Chicago and will be available to residents of this
project area.
Williams public elementary school, which now
serves the project area, is located in Dearborn
Homes on the west side of State Street. In the
future the project area will be served either by
Williams School or by Drake School, which is three
blocks east of the project area. The Chicago Board
of Education expects to enlarge both these schools
in the near future.
The public high school serving the project area is
Wendell Phillips High School, located at Giles
Avenue and Pershing Road, one mile south of
the site. New Dunbar Trade School, construction
of which is about to begin, is located just east of
the project area, at 31st Street and South Park
Way.
The project area is in the 2nd Police District.
A new police station for that district was built in
1951 at 29th Street and Prairie Avenue two blocks
east of the project.
The fire station which will serve the project area
is to be located at 34th Street and South Park
Way. This will be a new fire station, replacing the
one cleared from Redevelopment Project No. 1.
Hospital facilities are very convenient to the
project area. Michael Reese Hospital is one-half
mile to the east, Mercy Hospital is less than one-
half mile northeast, and the Lewis Memorial Hos-
pital is adjacent to the area at the southeast corner
of 30th Street and Michigan Avenue.
6. Industrial Uses.
Four sound buildings used for light industry are
being retained in the north end of the project, as
shown on the Land Use Plan, Exhibit 1. They are
now used for auto part storage, printing opera-
tions, and the manufacture of such items as en-
velopes and steel and cast iron pulleys. These light
industrial buildings are a part of the light indus-
trial district extending northward to 26th Street.
The Chicago Land Clearance Commission intends
to acquire and demolish the residential buildings
adjacent to these light industrial buildings, and to
dispose of the cleared land for use as a parking
facility or other industrial or industrial-related use.
C. Opportunities for Private Enterprise.
With the exception of the 1.2 acres of land to be
developed as a park-playground, 3.1 acres to be
conveyed to the City for the widening of State
Street, the small amount of land to be conveyed to
the City for the widening of 31st Street, the land
to be dedicated for interior streets, and the tenth
of an acre to be sold for the St. James playground,
all the land acquired in the project area will be
redeveloped by private enterprise. On the 5.6 acres
to be used for row houses, private enterprise will
construct approximately 100 dwelling units. The
elevator apartment building, related parking facili-
ty, and convenience shops will also be built with
private capital.
D. Controls on Redevelopment.
The Land Use controls are shown on the Land
Use Plan, Exhibit 1. These controls include land
use, type and number of dwelling units, building
height, land coverage by structures, off-street
parking, and traffic access.
The Redevelopment Plan will form the basis for
40-year contracts between the Chicago Land Clear-
ance Commission and redevelopers. These con-
tracts will include provisions prohibiting land spec-
ulation.
E. Official Action Needed on Local Codes,
Zoning and Rights-of-way Adjustment.
All local codes will be complied with in con-
struction of the project.
At present the entire project area is zoned for
commercial use. The City Council will be requested
to approve the following zoning changes at the
same time it is requested to approve the Redevelop-
ment Plan:

Oustanding Service to City in Organization and
Direction of Chicago Civil Defense Corps.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly, Mayor, submitted
the following communication:
Office of the Mayor
City of Chicago
September 10, 1954.
To the Honorable, The City Council of the City
of Chicago:
Gentlemen — By reason of compelling personal
circumstances, Commander Victor C. P. Dreiske
has relinquished his duties as Co-Director of the
Chicago Civil Defense Corps.
Commander Dreiske was most generous in giv-
ing his time and efforts to the organization of the
Chicago Civil Defense Corps without financial
compensation and at a great personal sacrifice.
It is with regret that the City of Chicago has lost
the services of such a public-spirited citizen.
Commander Dreiske merits public commenda-
tion and to that end I transmit herewith a reso-
lution relating to his public services and recom-
mend its adoption.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor.
The proposed resolution transmitted with the fore-
going communication reads as follows:
Whereas, Subsequent to the beginning of the
Korean hostilities, the President of the United
States requested the Governors of all States and
the Mayors of all principal cities to immediately
set up local volunteer civil defense organizations
using personnel, equipment and facilities readily
available; and
Whereas, Upon request of the Mayor of Chi-
cago, Commander Victor C. P. Dreiske responded
immediately and gave his full time and effort
during several months to the planning of a pract-
ical civil defense organization which included the
personnel, equipment and facilities of local gov-
ernment units, public and private utilities and
commercial and industrial organizations ; and
Whereas, Upon acceptance and approval of
this plan by the Federal Government, Mr. Dreiske
cooperated diligently in putting the plan into op-
eration by assisting in organizing the Chicago
Civil Defense Corps ; and
Whereas, Upon activation of the Chicago Civil
Defense Corps in November 1950, Mr. Dreiske ac-
cepted the responsibility of Co-Director of the
Corps and thereafter, without financial compensa-
tion and at great personal sacrifice, continued to
serve the people of Chicago in maintaining a
common sense civil defense organization with only
a nominal expenditure of public funds and in a
manner locally approved and nationally com-
mended; and
Whereas, in July of 1954, by reason of compel-
ling personal necessities, he reluctantly relin-
quished his duties as Co-Director of the Corps;
therefore be it
Resolved, That, we, the Mayor and City Council
of Chicago and the Officers and Members of the
Chicago Civil Defense Corps do hereby publicly
commend and thank Victor C. P. Dreiske for this
outstanding civic service to the people and the
government of the City of Chicago; and be it
further
Resolved, That this testimonial be entered in
the records of the City Council of Chicago and
thereafter be suitably inscroUed, signed by the
Mayor of Chicago and the Director of the Chicago
Civil Defense Corps and presented to Commander
Dreiske vidth proper ceremony.
By unanimous consent the requirement of Council
Rule 45 for committee consideration was dispensed
with, and on motion of Alderman Cullerton said pro-
posed resolution was adopted.

ceeding $300,000.00 and eighty per cent of the

monthly basis.

from and after its passage and approval.
By unanimous consent Aldermen Merriam and

In view of the fact that parking facility No. 8
is now ready for use, it is obvious that it is too
late to advertise for bids on said facility. For that

facilities should be advertised for bids to select the
operator.

R«imbarsement of Chicago Housing Authority
Authorized from Slum Clearance Bond Issue

The Committee on Finance submitted a report
recommending that the following proposed ordinance
transmitted therewith (referred September 10, 1954)
do pass:
Whereas^ By ordinance adopted June 14, 1951,
(Journal of the Proceedings of the City Council of
the City of Chicago, pages 489 to 497), subsequent-
ly amended by ordinance adopted November 30,
1951 (Journal of the Proceedings of the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago, pages 1292 to 1294), the
City Council of the City of Chicago approved the
acquisition, by the Chicago Housing Authority, of
certain lands located in the City of Chicago, Coun-
ty of Cook, State of Illinois, captioned CDA Site
No. 2-2-51 as described in the ordinance of Novem-
ber 30, 1951, as referenced hereinbefore, for the
development thereon of a housing project by the
Chicago Dwellings Association, a not-for-profit cor-
poration organized under the Illinois General Not
for Profit Corporation Act;
Whereas, Land acquisition for CDA Site No.
2-2-51 by the Chicago Housing Authority has been
completed ;
Whereas, Plans for development of housing on
said site have been completed by the Chicago
Dwellings Association, bids have been received and
the Chicago Dwellings Association is prepared to
submit its plans and budget for the approval of
the Chicago Housing Authority and the Illinois
Housing Board;
Whereas, The cost of site acquisition involved
the purchase and demolition of a substantial num-
ber of sub-standard residential structures, thus
materially increasing acquisition costs above the
level which would obtain for similar developments
on vacant land;
Whereas, State Grant Act funds used for site
acquisition and demolition represent the only cur-
rently available source of construction equity
funds for the Chicago Dwellings Association and
the conservation of such funds for construction
purposes is desirable;
Whereas, It has been recommended by both the
Illinois State Housing Board and the Mayor's
Housing and Redevelopment Coordinator that City
of Chicago Slum Clearance Bond Issue funds be
sought to reimburse the State Grant Act funds for
the cost of acquisition and demolition of sub-
standard structures on the site in the interests of
conserving such State Grant Act funds for con-
struction purposes; now, therefore.
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

the Slum Clearance Bond Issue of the City of Chi-
cago-1945, in the amount of $232,000 (Two Hun-
dred and Thirty-two Thousand Dollars) to reim-
burse the Chicago Housing Authority for the ex-
penditure of State Grant Act funds in connection
with the acquisition of CDA Site No. 2-2-51 be and
the same is hereby authorized.
Section 2. That the Comptroller of the City of
Chicago be and is hereby authorized and directed
to disburse from the proceeds of the Slum Clear-
ance Bond Issue of the City of Chicago-1945, Ac-
count No. 436-S-8, funds in the amount of $232,-
000 (Two Hundred and Thirty-two Thousand Dol-
lars) to the Chicago Housing Authority for the
purposes hereinbefore set forth.

[Action Deferred — on Proposed Ordinance for Ac-

Chicago, September 23, 1954.
To the President and Members of the City Council:
Your Committee on Local Industries, Streets and
Alleys begs leave to recommend that Your Honor-
able Body do pass the proposed ordinance trans-
mitted herewith (referred September 10, 1954)

[Action Deferred — on Proposed Resolution for Es-
tablishment of Policy for Naming of New
Streets Extended on Same Line as
Existing Streets]
Chicago, September 23, 1954.
To the President and Members of the City Council:
Your Committee on Local Industries, Streets and
Alleys begs leave to recommend that Your Honor-
able Body do adopt the proposed resolution trans-
mitted herewith (referred September 10, 1954)
submitted by the Acting Commissioner of Public
Works, for the establishment of a policy for nam-
ing of new streets on the same line as existing
streets.
This recommendation was concurred in by 12
members of the committee, with no dissenting
votes.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Harry L. Sain.
Chairman.
The proposed resolution transmitted with the fore-
going committee report reads as follows:
Whereas, The City of Chicago has fewer street
names than most large cities ; and
Whereas, Limiting the number of street names
aids in the delivery of goods, the fighting of fires,
speeding mail delivery, and has many other ad-
vantages; and
Whereas, While the new street name is some-
times necessary where the new street is not close
to the line of an existing street, this is the excep-
tion, and generally a new public street is prac-
tically on the line of an existing public street; now
therefore.
Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of
Chicago :
That it be the established policy of this body,
that when a new public street is named, which is
practically on the line of an existing public street,
the name of the new street shall be the same as
the name of the existing street with which it is
practically in alignment.

Referred — Proposal for Issuance of Bonds in Mini-
mum Amount of $15,000,000 for Rehabilitation
and Installation of Street Lights.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly, Mayor, transmitted
the following communication from the Commissioner
of Streets and Sanitation, which was Referred to the
Committee on Finance:
City of Chicago
Department of Streets and Sanitation
November 1, 1954.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor.
Dear Sir — Since 1947 substantial progress has
been made on the program of rehabilitating and
replacing Chicago's worn-out lighting system. With
an overall area of 155 square miles involved, by
the end of 1953, 45 square miles was completed
with bond funds. In November, 1953 a $10,000,000
bond issue was voted and the City is currently
engaged in installing new lighting under this pro-
gram in approximately 25 square miles. The work
is scheduled for completion in the summer of 1955,
and by that time 70 square miles of the 155 square
miles will be completed.
As stated above, our present appropriations will
carry this program to the summer of 1955 and in
order to continue the project additional funds are
required. In view of this, it is recommended that
at the earliest date practicable a bond issue amount-
ing to a minimum of $15,000,000 be placed on the
ballot for approval by the electorate of the City of
Chicago. This amount will carry the rehabilitation
and replacement program into 1957.
With these new funds approximately 40 square
miles of lighting is proposed which, when installed,
would result in about 70 per cent of the City com-
pleted.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) L. M. Johnson,
Commissioner of Streets and Sanitation.
Referred — Proposal for Issuance of Bonds in
Amount of $30,000,000.00 for Construction
OF Additional Auxiliary Outlet Sewers.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly, Mayor, transmitted
the following communication from the Commissioner
of Water and Sewers, which was Referred to the
Com,mittee on Finance:
City of Chicago
Department of Water and Sewers
November 3, 1954.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor of the City of Chicago,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Mr. Mayor — As a result of the effect of
adverse weather conditions on the public sewer sys-
tem in the city during the past several years, par-
ticularly during this last year when we have had
such great amounts of rainfall on several occasions,
you are well aware of the need to continue the
program to increase the capacity of the sewer sys-
tem by constructing additional auxiliary outlet
sewers. In order to continue the sewer construction
program in the years 1955 and thereafter it will be
necessary to obtain additional funds to finance such
construction.
In 1946, a bond issue of $58 million was ap-
proved by referendum, for the construction of aux-
iliary outlet sewers -in the City of Chicago. Based
on the estimates of our engineers at that time, this
November 4, 1954
COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.

amount was something more than half the amount
considered necessary for the needed construction.
During the last seven years, with monies from this
bond issue, $50 million has been spent for the con-
struction of auxiliary outlet sewers in the city to
increase the capacity of the sewer sj'stem, by far
more than was spent for this purpose in any com-
parable preceding period. Meanwhile, however, the
increase in impervious surfaces, especially in the
outlying parts of the city due to increased con-
struction, and other drainage demands on the sewer
system have outstripped the sewer facilities in-
stalled when many of these areas were still farm-
lands.
Plans have been completed for the construction
of an additional $10 million worth of auxiliary out-
let sewers in the city during the year 1955, for
which there is approximately only $8 million left
of the present bond issue. Therefore, in order to
continue the construction program, some additional
means of financing in the years 1955 and there-
after will have to be found, so that we may be able
to solve the drainage problems over the city as a
whole, which were particularly spot-lighted during
the exceptionally high rainfall storms that occurred
during the last several months of this year.
The engineers estimate that it will be necessary
to build approximately $100 million worth of aux-
iliary outlet sewers, in addition to those that have
been and will be constructed under the present
bond issue, to increase the capacity of the system
to meet the needs in the years ahead.
Therefore it is recommended that a new bond
issue be arranged for in the amount of $30 million
for the construction of additional auxiliary outlet
sewers in the city, so as not to interrupt the
planned sewer construction program to increase the
capacity of our public sewer system.
Respectfully yours,

Commissioner of Water and Sewers.

City of Chicago
Chicago Home Rule Commission
November 4, 1954.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor of the City of Chicago,
City Hall, Chicago 2, Illinois.
Dear Mr. Mayor — In handing you this Report of
the Chicago Home Rule Commission, it is appro-
priate, I believe, to say a word concerning the
spirit and the atmosphere in which the Commission
has carried on its work.
The members appointed by you to a Commission
authorized by the City Council have felt that they
were an advisory body, with a mandate to give you
and the Council the best suggestions of which they
were capable, on the two problems assigned them
by the ordinance — the advancement and moderniza-
tion of Chicago's government and the problems of
home rule.
It has been our belief that you and the Council
wished us to reach our conclusions independently
and objectively, basing them, so far as possible, on
pertinent research and analysis, and without regard
for the views of particular political interests or
particular public officials. The Commission has
operated in that belief.
Throughout its work, and in the preparation of
this Report, the Commission and its staff have
worked with complete freedom. From numerous
8386
JOURNAI^CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
November 4, 1954
persons, including some active in the political life
of both parties, there have been received strong
encouragement and expressions of hope that the
Commission's work might contribute to civic ad-
vancement and to the strength and value of the
government of the city of Chicago, but no attempt
to influence the objectivity of the work has come
from any source.
The city of Chicago is a large, dynamic, growing
and changing organization. It provides for the
citizens of the city an extensive variety of services
vital to their welfare, to their enjoyment, and to the
effectiveness of the economic activities with which
they are concerned.
The operations of this tremendous enterprise,
judgments as to desirable changes in the services
it renders, proposals for modification of its struc-
ture, and decisions as to ways and means of ob-
taining revenue are intrusted, as under all free
governments, to politically elected officials.
The Commission believes that frequent reviews
of such public enterprises are as useful as they are
for private business organizations. The Commis-
sion believes that such reviews of our city, if car-
ried on sincerely and objectively, can greatly con-
tribute to improving it as an already energetically
going concern.
As a group of men who have been engaged in
such work, all the members of the Commission wish
to express to you, Mr. Mayor, and to the City Coun-
cil, their appreciation of tlae opportunity which
they have had to serve the city of Chicago.
Sincerely yours,
Leverett S. Lyon,
Chairman,
Chicago Home Rule Commission.
Referred — Proposed Resolution Relating to
Chicago's Anticipated Needs for
Relocation Housing.
Honorable Martin H. Kennelly, Mayor, submitted
the following communication, which was, together
with the proposed resolution transmitted therewith,
Referred to the Committee on Housing:
Office of the Mayor
City of Chicago
November 3, 1954.
To the Honorable, The City Council of the City
of Chicago:
Gentlemen — Forwarded herewith for your con-
sideration and recommended passage is a proposed
resolution relating to Chicago's anticipated needs
for relocation housing. The passage of this resolu-
tion is necessary in order for the Chicago Housing
Authority to apply to the Public Housing Adminis-
tration for relocation housing under the recently
amended Housing Act of 1949.
New units built by the Chicago Housing Author-
ity since the passage of the 1949 Housing Act have
been utilized primarily to facilitate the relocation
of families displaced by clearance activities. In fact,
from July 1949 to date, the number of priority dis-
placed families accommodated in CHA housing was
equivalent to more than 70% of all such units con-
structed.
During the next four years, through 1958, 7,878
apartments now authorized will be completed. How-
ever, during this same period, plans call for the
displacement of more than 18,000 families through
government sponsored redevelopment and conserva-
tion activities. Approximately 6,000 of these fami-
lies will be eligible for CHA housing; therefore, it
is apparent that most of the new housing will be
for the use of displaced families.
By the end of 1958, the CHA's present construc-
tion program will be completed. However, conser-
vation, redevelopment, and public works programs
involving the displacement of low-income families
will continue.
Because of the complexities of land assembly and
the volume of relocation and demolition involved,
at least four years must be allowed from the time
Federal contracts are signed to the date when full
occupancy can be achieved. Thus, federal commit-
ments must be obtained promptly under the 1954
Act in order to ensure a continuing supply of new
housing for displaced eligible families.
Current plans will necessitate the rehousing of
some 11,500 displaced families during the three
years, 1959 through 1961. Past experience indicates
that about 1/3 of the total families displaced will
ultimately be eligible for public housing.
On the basis of the above facts and estimates it
would appear that the City of Chicago will require
a minimum of 3,800 new federally-aided units for
the use of eligible families to be displaced during
the three-year period immediately following the
completion of all CHA units currently authorized.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Martin H. Kennelly,
Mayor.

Estimates for Year 1955.
Also the City Comptroller's and Departmental Es-
timates for the year 1955, submitted by J. H. Dil-
lard, City Comptroller, transmitted with a commun-
ication addressed to the Mayor and the City Council
under date of October 27, 1954, reading as follows:
October 27, 1954.
To the Honorable, the Mayor
and City Council of the City of Chicago:
Gentlemen — The Comptroller submits herewith
a report of departmental estimates of funds neces-
sary to defray expenses for 1955, together with
balance sheets showing his estimates of the appro-
priable resources available for all funds and his
estimates for appropriation of these resources to
the departments.
Departmental requests for the year 1955 for
Corporate Purposes amount to $119,163,049, which
is $9,013,949 in excess of estimated resources ap-
propriable for expenditures. After allowances for
loss and cost in the collection of taxes and provi-
sion for a reserve of $4,000,000 (estimated amount
of cigarette tax held in escrow as of January 1,
November 4, 1954
COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.
8391
1955), the amount available for appropriation for
expenditures is $110,149,K)0 which is $1,534,249
less than the amount appropriable from this fund
for 1954.
The Comptroller has limited his recommendations
to the amount available for appropriation. After
reviewing the estimates with various department
heads, some increases over the 1954 appropriation
were allowed in a few instances because of expand-
ing activities or other circumstances. As a result
of these increases and the lesser amount available
for appropriation, it has been necessary to reduce
the amount allocated to other departments below
their 1954 appropriation.
Requests for increases in salaries have not been
taken into consideration.
In order to facilitate the work of the Council in
its consideration of the budget, no amount is shown
in Column 6 (departmental estimate), except for
totals, unless there is a change from the amount
appropriated for 1954.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) J. H. Dillard,
Comptroller.

The above elevations as fixed shall be measured
from Chicago City datum as established by the
City Council of the City of Chicago.
The roadway (s) of the several street (s) here-
tofore specified between the points herein described,
also the roadway (s) intersecting alley (s) extend-
ed from the curb line to the street line on each
side of said specified street (s) between the points
herein described, after removing the trees there-
from, shall be so graded by cutting or filling and
compacted by rolling with a roller of ten (10)
tons weight that after the grading of the road-
bed (s) is completed and the pavement herein de-
scribed placed thereon, the surface of the finished
pavement at the center of the roadway of each of
said specified street (s) shall be at the elevation
of the top of the curbing herein described; and
the surface of the said finished pavement at the
summits in the gutters between catchbasins and
adjoining the roadway face of the curbing shall be
three (3) inches below the top of said curbing, and
at the catchbasin inlets in the gutters adjoining
the roadway face of the curbing shall be nine (9)
inches below the top of said curbing. The slope of
the gutters adjoining the roadway face of said
curbing shall be uniform from the summits to the
catchbasin inlets.
A transverse section of the surface of the fin-
ished pavement and gutters shall be an arc of a
circle passing through the said gutter elevations
and the elevation of the center of said finished
roadway at every part of the roadway of said spec-
ified street (s) between the points herein described.
In all intersecting alley (s) herein specified at
the street line(s) of said specified street (s) the
surface of the finished pavement adjoining the
curbing shall be even with the top of the curbing,
and the surface of the finished pavement at the
center of the roadway (s) of said alley (s) shall be
three (3) inches below the top of the curbing:
and a transverse section of the surface of the fin-
ished pavement at the street line(s) of said speci-
fied street (s) shall be an arc of a circle passing
through the surface of the pavement adjoining
said curbing and the surface of the pavement at
the center of said finished roadway (s). The sur-
face of the said pavement thence shall slope grad-
ually to meet the surface of the finished pavement
at the curb lines of said specified street (s).
, On the sub-grade as formed and compacted shall
be spread an insulation course of limestone screen-
ings. Said insulation course shall be one (1) inch
in thickness and shall extend across the full width
of the roadbed.
On the insulation course as formed and com-
pacted shall be spread a foundation course consist-
ing of a layer of crushed limestone or blast furnace
slag of the best quality, broken so as to pass
through a ring of four (4) inches internal diam-
eter and held on a ring of two (2) inches internal
diameter. The stone or slag as spread shall be well
graded as to sizes. It shall be evenly distributed
so as to leave no pockets filled with the small size
stone or slag. This layer shall be thoroughly rolled
with a self-propelled three-wheel roller, weighing
not less than ten (10) tons. The rolling shall begin
at the edges of the pavement and the roller shall
move parallel with the center line of the roadway.
The roller shall progress gradually toward the
center of the roadway, uniformly lapping each pre-
ceding tracks, covering the entire surface with the
rear wheels and continuing until the stone or slag
does not creep or move ahead of the roller. After
the crushed limestone has been thoroughly rolled
and keyed, limestone screenings shall be applied
gradually over the surface and the rolling con-
tinued until sufficient screenings have been applied
to completely fill the interstices. If slag is used,
then after it has been thoroughly rolled and keyed,
limestone screenings or fine slag shall be applied
gradually over the surface and the rolling contin-
ued until sufficient screenings or fine slag have
been applied to completely fill the interstices. The
screenings or fine slag shall be swept in with hand
brooms to properly fill the voids. The spreading
and rolling shall continue until no more screenings
or fine slag will go in dry. No excess of screenings
or fine slag shall be used before applying water.
Immediately after the voids have been filled with
screenings, or fine slag, the macadam shall be
sprinkled until saturated, the sprinkler being fol-
lowed by the roller. More screenings or fine slag
shall be added if necessary. The sprinkling, sweep-
ing and rolling shall continue until a grout shall
be formed of the screenings or fine slag and water
that will fill all voids, and form a wave of grout
before the wheels of the roller. The quantity of
screenings or fine slag and water necessary to fill
the voids shall be determined by the engineer and
shall be sufficient to produce a rough, granular
surface. The rolling, at all times, shall begin at
the sides, and then progress toward the center,
thoroughly covering the entire surface with the
rear wheels. When compacted, this layer shall
measure not less than five (5) inches in thickness.
Upon the finished waterbound macadam base
there shall be uniformly applied by an approved
type of spreader box, two (2) inch stone to a
depth providing a total base course thickness of
three (3) inches after final compaction. After
shaping to grade and rolling with a ten (10) ton
roller three quarter (%) inch stone chips shall be
broadcast and broomed into the surface voids at
the rate of fifteen (15) pounds per square yard.
Liquid asphalt at a temperature of 140° F. shall
be uniformly applied by a pressure distributor at a
rate of one and one-half (ly^) gallons per square
yard. Stone chips shall again be broadcast and
broomed uniformly over the surface at the rate of
fifteen (15) pounds per square yard. Liquid asphalt
shall be uniformly applied by a pressure distribu-
tor at the rate of one-half ( 1/2 ) gallon per square
yard. Stone chips shall be broadcast again at the
rate of ten (10) pounds per square yard. The sur-
face shall then be thoroughly rolled. The asphalt
shall conform to the State Specifications for Emul-
sified Asphalt R.S.I and R.S.2 page 640 State of
Illinois Standard Specifications for Road and
Bridge Construction adopted January 2, 1952.
On the said foundation course shall be placed
an asphaltic concrete surface course two (2) inches
in thickness consisting of an asphaltic concrete
mixture conforming to the standard requirements
of the Illinois State Division of Highways for Type
I-II Asphaltic Concrete adopted January 2, 1952,
as follows: the asphaltic mix shall consist of a
mineral aggregate bonded with an asphaltic ce-
ment. The mineral aggregate shall consist of the
best quality of crushed gravel or crushed stone in
sizes graduated in accordance with the following
table, viz:

The asphaltic cement shall conform with the
standard requirements of the Illinois State Divi-
sion of Highways for Grade P.A.6, Paving Asphalt,
adopted January 2, 1952. It shall have a flash
point (Cleveland open cup) 500 plus Fahrenheit.
It shall have penetration at seventy-seven (77)
degrees fahrenheit of seventy-five (75) to eighty-
five (85), and at least ninety-nine and five-tenths
(99.5) per cent of the bitumen shall be soluble in
carbon disulphide.
When fifty (50) grams of said paving asphalt is
heated in an uncovered tin box five and one-half
(51/2) centimeters in diameter and three and one-
half (SYz) centimeters in depth, and is held at a
temperature of three hundred twenty-five (325)
degrees fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then it shall
have lost not over two (2) per cent by weight and
the penetration of the residue thus obtained shall
not be less than seventy (70) per cent of the pen-
etration before such heating, said penetration be-
ing determined as herein prescribed. Said paving
asphalt shall have a ductility of not less than one
hundred (100) centimeters being determined by
elongating a briquette Dow form of said paving
asphalt at uniform rate of five (5) centimeters
per minute at a temperature of seventy -seven (77)
degrees fahrenheit.
The paving asphalt and mineral aggregate shall
be mixed when heated between three hundred
(300) and three hundred fifty (350) degrees fahr-
enheit in an approved mixer to produce a homog-
eneous mixture in which all particles of aggre-
gate are coated uniformly. The heated mixture
shall be delivered to the pavement in trucks with
approved clean tight dump bodies. The tempera-
ture when delivered at the street shall be between
two hundred fifty (250) and three hundred fifty
(350) degrees fahrenheit. Upon arrival the as-
phaltic mixture shall be spread upon the prepared
base at a uniform depth and consistency so that
the thickness when compacted as herein described
will be two (2) inches. Immediately after the as-
phalt surface course shall be spread it shall be
compacted thoroughly and uniformly with a three
(3) wheel roller or a tandem roller. The asphalt
paving mix shall be dumped first upon approved
steel dump pans outside of the area on which it
is to be spread. Immediately thereafter it shall be
distributed into place with shovels and spread with
rakes in layers of uniform density and correct
depth, unless a spreading machine is used. If a
spreading machine is used it shall be of a type ap-
proved by the Board of Local Improvements. Im-
mediately after the surface course mixture is placed
it shall be compacted thoroughly and uniformly with
a three-wheel roller or a tandem roller. One (1) or
more three-wheel rollers, and one (1) or more
tandem rollers will be required. The actual number
of such rollers to be used shall be determined by
the Engineer in accordance with the progress of
the work. If the production of the asphalt plant
delivered to the pavement exceeds seventy-five (75)
tons per hour additional rollers shall be furnished
as directed by said Engineer. After final rolling the
asphalt surface course shall at all points have a
density of not less than ninety-five (95) per cent
of the maximum possible density of a voidless
pavement composed of the same materials in like
proportions.
Concrete cross-walks shall be built at intersec-
tions only. Concrete cross-walks shall be built ac-
cording to the Standard City Code of the City of
Chicago.
The concrete shall conform to Class X Concrete
(as described in this ordinance for curbs and gut-
ters).
All existing catchbasins which are to be aband-
oned are located at the intersections of streets.
Where existing catchbasins are to be abandoned
the outlet pipe connection from the catchbasin to
the sewer shall be plugged and properly sealed and
the corbel courses broken down and the catchbasin
cleaned and filled with suitable material.
Said work is to be done in a workmanlike man-
ner under the superintendence of the Board of
Local Improvements of the said City of Chicago.

Policy Established for Naming of New Streets
Extended on Same Lines as Existing Streets.
On motion of Alderman Sain the City Council took
up for consideration the report of the Committee on
Local Industries, Streets and Alleys deferred Sep-
tember 27, 1954, page 8350 (and published on page
8351), recommending that the City Council adopt a
proposed resolution transmitted with the committee's
report reading as follows:
Whereas, The City of Chicago has fewer street
names than most large cities ; and
Whereas, Limiting the number of street names
aids in the delivery of goods, the fighting of fires,
speeding mail delivery, and has many other ad-
vantages; and
_ Whereas, While the new street name is some-
times necessary where the new street is not close
to the line of an existing street, this is the excep-
tion, and generally a new public street is prac-
tically on the line of an existing public street; now
therefore,
Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of
Chicago :
That it be the established policy of this body,
that when a new public street is named, which is
practically on the line of an existing public street,
the name of the new street shall be the same as
the name of the existing street with which it is
practically in alignment.
On motion of Alderman Sain the committee's recom-

tee's report to authorize the issuance of permits for

The Redevelopment Plan for Project No. 2
September 7, 1954.
Project No. 2 is bounded generally on the north
by 77th Street, on the east by Western Avenue,
on the south by 79th Street, and on the west by
S. Rockwell Avenue. The precise boundaries of the
project are shown on the redevelopment plan ex-
hibits referred to below. There are 34.0 acres in
the project gross area.
The Redevelopment Plan consists of the follow-
ing items :
1. Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1
2. Zoning Map — Exhibit 2
3. Rights-of-Way Adjustment Map — Exhibit 3
4. Utility Map — Sewer
5. Utility Map II — Water and Privately Owned
Utilities
6. This Narrative Statement.
A. Relation to Local Planning Objectives.
The land within Project No. 2 is the northern
part of a large area either now devoted to or
planned for residential use. This residential area
extends southward to the city limits at 87th Street
and includes the village of Evergreen Park south
of 87th Street. The land between 77th and 76th
Streets, immediately to the north of the project
area, is now built up with single family residences.
The land north of 76th Street and the land west of
S. Rockwell Avenue is zoned for manufacturing
use. Immediatelj' to the west of the site is located

JOURNAI^^GITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
November 4, 1954
the yard and sales building of the Gee Lumber
Company. Neither the Gee Lumber Company nor
the warehouse and light industrial uses west of
the lumber yard, involve operations creating noise,
smoke, dust or odors which would be detrimental
to residences located in the project area. Due east
of the project, an area one-half block in depth on
the east side of Western Avenue is zoned for com-
mercial use. That half block is largely vacant, but
contains such facilities as a loan company office, a
doctors office building, linoleum store, and ice
cream parlor. The land between the commercial
zone and the railroad tracks four blocks east of
Western Avenue is zoned for manufacturing use,
i.e., the light industrial category in the zoning or-
dinance. It is the site of a building material yard
and a golf driving range. Improved control of the
use of land peripheral to the project, practicable
because of a revised zoning ordinance now in prep-
aration, is discussed in a later section of this state-
ment.
In a publication entitled "Recommendation and
Planning Analysis for Redevelopment Project No.
2 of Chicago Land Clearance Commission", dated
June 21, 1951, the Chicago Plan Commission rec-
ommended the development of Project No. 2 as a
residential area.
The relationship of this project area to sur-
rounding land uses, and proposals for land use is
given in the Chicago Plan Commission map dated
June 1954. That map is titled: "A Part of the
Preliminary Comprehensive City Plan of Chicago
in the Vicinity of Project No. 2 of The Chicago
Land Clearance Commission".
B. Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Plan (Exhibit 1) is intended to
provide a quiet residential environment with good
space standards, and to allow the retention of the
existing sewer lines in the north-south streets.
These sewers are in excellent condition and are
valued at approximately $40,000. The original plat-
ting has been changed to provide larger lots for
single family detached dwelling units and areas
for multi-family structures. The possibility of in-
terior project streets being used as through traffic
ways is greatly reduced by limiting the number
of access points, by prohibiting access from West-
ern Avenue except to land used for commercial
purposes and by restricting access from 79th
Street to Maplewood Avenue.
Suitable screen planting of 10 feet approximate
width shall be provided by the developer where
necessary along the 79th Street and Western Ave-
nue boundaries to screen residential structures in
close proximity to traffic. Screen planting shall
also be provided between commercial and parking
areas adjacent to residential uses. Screen planting
together with a chain link fence shall be located
at the western boundary of the site.
Major controls for the various types of land use
are given on the Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1.
The amount of land specified for the several uses
is shown in the following tabulation :

1. Circulation and Public Transportation.
Most of the internal project streets are to be in-
stalled over the platted rights-of-way so that the
existing sewers may be utilized. The 66-foot right-
of-way with a 34-foot pavement will be used ex-
cept for the culs-de-sac where the entry road will
have a 50-foot right-of-way and the turn-around
a 50-foot radius. A 26-foot pavement will be in-
stalled on 50-foot rights-of-way.
Entrances to the residential part of the project
area are limited to one from 77th Street and one
from 79th Street. The Chicago City Council will
be requested to vacate the west end of 77th Street
so that that street will not be used by vehicles
enroute to or from the manufacturing area west of
project (Exhibit 3).
Appropriate action will be taken to assure
"maximum pedestrian safety treatment" on 79th
Street due south of the project, so that residents
of the project area will have ready access to com-
munity facilities south of 79th Street. This may
involve improvement of the existing 79th Street
center strip or other necessary measures.
Public transportation facilities extending from
this site to adjacent areas are convenient and ade-
quate. Buses operate to the east and west on 79th
Street, and street cars operate north and south
on Western Avenue. Public transit to the central
business district is by way of Western Avenue
street car to Archer Avenue and transfer to ex-
press bus service at that point.
2. Residential.
As specified on the Land Use Plan (Exhibit 1),
residential areas will be devoted to 74 single fam-
ily detached homes and multi-family walk-up apart-
ment structures to contain a minimum of 195 and
a maximum of 210 dwelling units. It follows that a
minimum of 269 dwelling units are to be construct-
ed in the project area.
The 11.5 acres to be devoted to single family
detached structures to be sold to individual own-
ers, are to be built to a density of less than 7
dwelling units per net acre. All lots will be a mini-
mum of 50 feet in width with the exception of the
34.84 feet wide lot at the southwest corner of W.
77th Street and S. Artesian Avenue.
It is anticipated that dwelling units in the 10
five-unit walk-up apartment buildings to be lo-
November 4, 1954

8453
cated at the west end of the project area will be
sold as cooperatives. The other walk-up apartment
dwelling units will be rented/
Three single-family detached structures in the
project area are in good condition and will remain
as shown on the Land Use Plan (Exhibit 1).
In line with the objective to provide lots of 50
feet minimum width for single family detached
houses, if it is found feasible, existing houses to
remain will be provided with lots at least 50 feet
wide, and garage access other than through alleys.
Adjacent to the project area are located two sin-
gle-family detached structures on the west side of
Artesian Avenue, just south of 77th Street.
Where sewer elevation problems are present on
the site, buildings with basements shall include
sump pumps and overhead sewers.
3. Commercial.
Fourteen convenience stores are now located
opposite the project area on the south side of 79th
Street between Maplewood and Campbell Avenues.
Major items are available in the new Evergreen
Plaza shopping center located two miles south of
the site at 95th Street and Western Avenue.
A shopping market analysis of the area sur-
rounding the project, prepared by the Chicago
Land Clearance Commission staff, disclosed the
following data:
Approximately 800 families reside in the area
bounded on the north by the railroad tracks
north of 76th Street, on the east by railroad
tracks located approximately a quarter of a mile
east of Western Avenue, on the south by 83rd
Street, and on the west by California Avenue,
which is a half mile west of Western Avenue.
Upon the completion of Project No. 2, approxi-
mately 1,100 families will reside in the area. On
the basis of data from the 1950 U. S. Census,
it is estimated that these families will have an
average annual income of $4,460. or a com-
bined annual income of about $4,850,000, of
which 27% or approximately $1,340,000 will be
spent at local convenience goods stores.
A count of existing stores in the area and ap-
portionment of the estimated gross annual expendi-
tures among types of facilities required, indicates
that there should be provided in the project area
a grocery store, bakery, and drug store, as well as
personal service shops. Accordingly, it is proposed
that 1.2 acres fronting on 79th Street be devoted
to commercial use, i.e. for convenience shops and
related auto parking facilities.
The owner of the two lots at the northeast cor-
ner of Artesian Avenue and 79th Street within the
project, totalling 0.2 of an acre, intends to build
a commercial structure which will contain a real
estate office and one or two convenience shops.
This owner has agreed to conform his building
plan to our redevelopment plan.
The 1.2 acre area at the northwest corner of 79th
Street and Western Avenue, not included within
the project, contains an electric substation owned
by the Chicago Transit Authority, a restaurant, a
gasoline filling station, and several vacant lots.
Inasmuch as the restaurant needs parking space,
it is proposed that 0.4 of an acre fronting on
Western Avenue be sold for such use. The use of
the vacant lots will of course be limited to busi-
ness purposes, in accordance with the zoning for
the frontage on Western Avenue.
4. Recreation.
A small park-playground of 3.1 acres is to be
provided at the west side of the project. There it
will function not only as a play area, but as a
screen separating the residential uses from the
area zoned for manufacturing to the west. With
approximately 270 dwelling units within Project
No. 2, and 80 dwelling units in the residential area
immediately north of the project between 76th and
77th Streets, the park will serve the residents of
350 dwelling units. Assuming 3.5 persons per fam-
ily, approximately 1,190 persons would use the
park. The park-playground of 3.1 acres will pro-
vide 2.6 acres of recreational space per 1,000 per-
sons. Inasmuch as the project area is bounded by
major streets, it is intended that it be supplied
with more park-playground than might otherwise
be necessary. In 1950 the Bureau of Parks and
Recreation agreed to the necessity of providing a
park-playground in Project No. 2. It is expected
that after the City Council has approved the rede-
velopment plan of which, as noted above, this
statement is a part, the Bureau of Parks and Rec-
reation will enter into a formal agreement to fur-
nish the park-playground.
The Chicago Park District has purchased a 23
acre site bounded by 83rd Street, 85th Street,
Whipple and Richmond Avenues and has begun
development of that site. It is located only one-
half mile southwest of Project 2. Marquette Park,
which contains 322 acres, is located one mile north
of the site at California Avenue and 71st Street.
5. Schools, Other Municipal Services, and
Churches.
There are adequate public school facilities for
both the elementary and high school students who
will reside in Project No. 2.
A new elementary school containing facilities for
300 students from kindergarten through the third
grade is now under construction two blocks south
of the project at 80th Street and Maplewood Ave-
nue. A temporary school for 219 students is now
located adjacent to the new school. The temporary
building may remain if enrollment should make
it necessary, but at this time it is anticipated that
the new school will accommodate all students from
kindergarten through the third grade in the dis-
trict.
Students in the fourth through the eight grades
will attend the Barton School, located approximate-
ly one-half mile from the project at 77th Street
and Winchester Avenue. Present enrollment of that
school is 844, and capacity is 1,050.
Project No. 2 is within the boundaries of the
Calumet High School, located at 8101 S. May
Street, where enrollment equals its capacity of
2,370 pupils. It is anticipated that the boundaries
of that school district will be shifted so that some
of the Calumet High School students will attend
Harper High School located at 6250 S. Wood
Street. Present enrollment at Harper School is
1,341 and capacity is 1,681;
Police and fire fighting services are available and
adequate for the residential development intended
for Project No. 2.
Church facilities are located throughout the ad-
jacent residential areas.

C. Opportunities for Private Enterprise.
This entire project will be developed by private
enterprise.
D. Controls on Redevelopment.
As shown on the Land Use Plan — Exhibit 1, con-
trols include land use, type and number of dwell-
ing units, building height, land coverage by struc-
tures, parking, and traffic access. These controls
are an integral part of the redevelopment plan.
The redeveloper or redevelopers, their successors
or assigns, will be required by contract to observe
all provisions of the redevelopment plan, including
land use controls for a period of 40 years.
After any portion of land is disposed of, the
Land Use Plan may be modified only upon the
written consent of the then property owners af-
fected by the proposed modification.
The contract with the developer or developers
will include prohibitions against land speculation.
E. Official Action Needed on Local Codes,
Zoning, and Rights-of-Way Adjustments.
Rights-of-way adjustments are indicated in Ex-
hibit 3. Council ordinances vacating the streets
and dedicating new rights-of-way will be intro-
duced shortly before the date as of which the
streets are to be vacated.
All local codes will be complied with in the de-
velopment.
The Zoning Map, Exhibit 2, shows the use and
volume zoning revisions needed within the project
area. At present the entire area is zoned for fam-
ily residence — Volume 1, except for the lots facing
on 79th Street and Western Avenue. Rezoning is
not required for the segment to be devoted to
detached single family residences.
The City Council will be requested to approve
the following changes in use and volume districts
at the time the Council approves the Redevelop-
ment Plan:
Zoning to he Pro-
posed to C'ouncil
Use Volume
District District
Apartment

Segment of Project Area
North part of Western Av.
frontage
East part of 79th St.
frontage
West part of 79th St.
frontage
Southern part of western
block
Areas west, north, and east of the site are now
zoned for manufacturing use. Such areas include
a tract immediately west of the site and extend-
ing westward to the railroad tracks ; a small area
one block north of the site at 76th Street extend-
ing a short distance northward to the railroad
tracks ; and the land east of the commercial front-
age on the east side of Western Avenue, and ex-
tending to the railroad tracks four blocks east of
Western Avenue. The manufacturing use district
in the zoning ordinance is eqinvalent to the light
industrial use district in other ordinances.
As stated above, work on a revised zoning ordi-
nance is in progress and it is expected that before
the end of the year the new ordinance will be
presented to the Council for approval. That ordi-
nance provides for light industrial zones, and
through the use of the new ordinance it will be
practicable to protect the project area from sur-
rounding land uses which would be detrimental to
the residential development in Project No. 2. The
director of the administrative staff of the City
Council Committee on Buildings and Zoning has
advised the Chicago Land Clearance Commission
that zoning for areas adjacent to the project
should limit the use of land to purposes not detri-
mental to residential use of the project area, and
that recommendations for zoning in the new ordi-
nance will be based on this principle. He also points
out in a letter dated March 30, 1954 that ". . . .
it is only reasonable to assume that if the City
Council approves the redevelopment plan for your
prospective project at 79th and Western, the
Council will also desire to adopt zoning for the
surrounding area which will protect the investment
in your project area."

recommending that the following proposed resolution
transmitted therewith be adopted :
Whereas, the City of Chicago has for many
years pursued a policy of encouragement to naviga-
tion by the improvement of Lake Calumet, the wid-
ening and straightening of the Calumet and Little
Calumet Rivers; and
Whereas, the City of Chicago is heartily
in favor of further river and harbor improve-
ments, including the widening of the Calumet-
Sag Channel and other improvements; and,
whereas as a condition precedent to the recommen-
dation of apportionment of costs, the Federal Gov-
ernment requires local interests, including the City
of Chicago, the City of Blue Island, the County of
Cook and the State of Illinois to give assurances
that certain inadequate bridges will be modified
and altered as required by the United States Dis-
trict Engineer; and, whereas by public law No. 647,
76th Congress, approved June 21, 1940 (commonly
referred to as the Truman-Hobbs Act), Congress
provided for the apportionment of cost of railroad
bridges between the bridge owner and the United
States; and, whereas by public law No. 564, 82nd
Congress, approved July 16, 1952, the Truman-
Hobbs Act was amended to make the same provi-
sions apphcable to highway bridges if a state, coun-
ty, municipality or other political subdivision is the
owner or joint owner thereof; this amendment not,
however, being applicable to bridges involved in
the Calumet-Sag project ; now, therefore
Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City
of Chicago, that the City of Chicago urges the
Congress of the United States to further amend
the Truman-Hobbs Act as previously amended to
make the same provisions for apportionment of
cost of highway bridges between the municipality
and the United States of America be applicable to
the bridges involved in the Calumet-Sag project;
and

met River with a longer fixed span as required in
connection with the Calumet-Sag project within a
period of five (5) years after commencement of
actual construction work in the widening of the
Calumet-Sag Channel and the commencement of all
related construction; provided, that the City of
Chicago will undertake to bear only that portion of
the costs which local interests are required to as-
sume by applicable federal law at the time the
bridge is being built; and provided further that
all other local interests likewise chargeable with
the replacements of their respective bridges in the
Calumet-Sag Navigation Project have taken simi-
lar action to replace their spans as required; and
provided further that the City of Chicago shall not
be construed as having obligated itself in any man-
ner to maintain any portion of the Indiana Avenue
bridge lying outside of the corporate limits of the
city and that local interests outside of the City
of Chicago give assurances that such portion of
the bridge lying outside the corporate limits of
the city will be properly maintained at no cost to
the City of Chicago; and

of this Resolution be transmitted by the City Clerk

COMMITTEE ON RAILWAY TERMINALS.
U. S. Postmaster General Requested to Consider Use
of Chicago Tunnel System for Trans-
portation of Mail.
The Committee on Railway Terminals, to which
had been referred (October 10, 1953, page 5841) a
proposed resolution requesting that a study be made
as to the possibility of using existing tunnels now
leased to the Chicago Tunnel Company for the
transportation of mail, submitted a report recom-
mending that the City Council adopt a proposed
resolution (transmitted therewith) reading as fol-
lows:
Whereas, On the 14th day of October, 1953, a
resolution was referred by the City Council to the
Committee on Railway Terminals directing a study
to be made of the possibility of the use of the
tunnels under city streets for the transportation
of mail from the main post office to the several
railroad stations in the Central Business District;
and
Whereas, The study shows that such use of the
tunnels for the transportation of mail will:
1. Reduce traffic congestion on Loop streets by
removal therefrom of about 3,000 truck move-
ments daily;
2. Reduce congestion in the vicinity of the
main post office and the railroad mail platforms
by releasing dock space for use of outside
mailers ;
3. Result in a savings to the United States
Government in the handling of this mail of ap-
proximately four million dollars per year;
4. Materially increase the revenues accruing to
the City under the ordinance from the City to
the Chicago Tunnel Company because of this ad-
ditional use of the tunnels ;
and
Whereas, Numerous newspaper articles and
many organizations such as the State Street Council
and the Chicago Association of Commerce and In-
dustry have favored the proposition to use the
tunnels for the transportation of mail; and
Whereas, The Eighty-third Congress has en-
acted legislation empowering the Postmaster Gen-
eral of the United States to acquire space and facil-
ities for the handling of mail under lease purchase
contracts; and
Whereas, This additional use of the tunnel will
not interfere or hinder the present use of the
tunnels for the transportation of merchandise and
package freight;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the City
Council recommend and urge that the Postmaster
General of the United States give immediate con-
sideration to the proposition of using the tunnel
system to transport mail between the various rail-
road stations in the Central Business District of
Chicago and the main post office, and that a certi-
fied copy of this resolution of the City Council be
forwarded to the Postmaster of the City of Chicago
and to the Postmaster General of the United
States.
On motion of Alderman Olin the committee's rec-
ommendation was concurred in and said proposed
resolution was adopted.

Gentlemen :
Revision No. 4 to Redevelopment Plan
for the Nylic Area of Redevelopment
Project No. 1.
This letter submits a proposed Revision No. 4 to
the Redevelopment Plan for the Nylic Area of
Redevelopment Project No. 1.
As you know, the Redevelopment Plan was form-
ally submitted by our letter of June 29, 1950.
Revision No. 1 was submitted to permit the widen-
ing of East 35th Street as desired by the responsi-
ble local governmental agencies and was approved
by City Ordinance of May 28, 1953. Revision No. 2
involved the widening of South Park Way immedi-
ately north of East 35th Street and was approved
by City ordinance of October 28, 1953. Revision
No. 3 involved changes of location of the proposed
school, the proposed park, the widening of East
31st Street and making it a limited access highway
which in turn necessitated relocation of access
roads south from East 31st Street into the Nyhc
Area; also provision for East 33rd Street to re-
main open between South Park Way and the east
line of vacated South Rhodes Avenue. Revision
No. 3 was subsequently approved by you and all
other governmental agencies concerned.
In our letter of April 21, 1954 submitting Revi-
sion No. 3 we pointed out that the specific loca-
tions of buildings and other changes of street
pattern and of utilities which would result from
studies undertaken after approval of Revision No. 3
would be submitted to you from time to time prior
to conveyance of portions of the Nylic Area as to
such portions. We have completed site plan study
for a portion of the area as outlined on the site
plan, twelve prints of which are submitted herewith.
The 'proposed amendment to the site plan is entitled
"Redevelopment Plan Revision No. 4, October 27
1954". It is herewith submitted for your approval
and if approved by you, for submission to the City
Council and the State Housing Board.
You will note that the plan provides for two
20-story apartment buildings containing approxi-
mately "640 units, a small service building, roadway,
and parking spaces. In addition, of course, there is
shown on the plan the areas already acquired and
the buildings built thereon. There is also outlined
on the plan the area surrounding the proposed new
buildings which we will purchase pursuant to the
terms and provisions of the redevelopment contract
as soon as the amended plan has been approved by
you and the other governmental agencies concerned.
Subject to the proposed amendment of the
Redevelopment Plan being approved and the area
outlined on the Plan being conveyed to us in the
early part of the ensuing year, our progress sched-
ule would be as follows: commencement of con-
struction of one 20-story building containing 320
units as soon after January 15, 1955 as possible
and in any event not later than May 1, 1955; com-
mencement of construction of the second 20-story
building containing 320 units as soon after Janu-
ary 15, 1955 as is feasible and in any event not
later than May 1, 1956. The completion dates of
these buildings will be approximately eighteen
months after start of construction.
We should be in a position to take bids shortly
inasmuch as the architects are well along in the
drafting of the final plans and specifications for
both buildings. We plan to go out for bids for
construction as soon as the architects complete the
plans and specifications. One of the bases for our
invitation for bids would be the simultaneous con-
struction of both buildings.
There is also submitted herewith twelve prints
each of two utility plans for the area outlined on
the aforementioned site plan, proposed Revision
No. 4 to the Redevelopment Plan. These utility

Presented by
ALDERMAN CILELLA (36th Ward):
Mayor Requested to Proclaim November 14-23, 1954
as "Retarded Children's Week in Chicago".
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, Mental retardation is perhaps the most
prevalent affliction among the population of this
nation, being ten times more numerous than crip-
pling polio, and nine times more numerous than
cerebral palsy; and
Whereas, There are in America approximately
4,800,000 retarded children, or approximately three
out of every 100 born ; and
Whereas, The social problem created by their
existence has until recently been subjected to a
tacit conspiracy of silence ; and
Whereas, Research reveals that while three-quar-
ters of the mentally retarded could be trained to
take a small but rewarding place in society, most
of them vegetate idly at home, or spend their
lives unproductively in impersonal institutions ; and
Whereas, The lack of community understanding
to comprehend the problem of mental retardation
has resulted not only in injustice to the mentally
retarded but to their perfectly normal parents who,
through no fault of their own, have been rejected
by their neighbors and the community as being
somehow responsible for the condition of their off-
springs; and
Whereas, A nationwide effort is now being made
to break down the barriers which isolate these
retarded children from the world and bring about
their acceptance in the community; and
Whereas, The National Association for Retarded
Children will during the period from November 14
to November 23, 1954, observe its first National
Retarded Children's Week to coordinate and ad-
vance in medical and related fields of research, and
to provide opportunity for the public to acquire an
understanding and interest in mental retardation
similar to that which it shows in other major com-
munity problems; and
Whereas, Effective assistance to the mentally
retarded can never be achieved until the public is
made aware of the problem and the urgent need
for its solution ; and
Whereas, The Chicagoland Committee For Na-
tional Retarded Children's Week, which consists of
approximately 4,000 members, most of whom are
parents of retarded children, has been created
here in Chicago for this purpose ; and
Whereas, The President of the United States
has proclaimed the week of November 14-23, 1954,
as Retarded Children's Week;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City
Council of the City of Chicago that the Mayor
proclaim the said Week of November 14th - 23rd,
1954, as Retarded Children's Week in the City of
Chicago, in tribute to the families of the mentally
retarded children in our city ;
Be It Further Resolved, That all religious, civic,
political, social, fraternal and educational institu-
tions and organizations within the City of Chicago
be requested to participate in the ojjservance of
said Retarded Children's Week and pledge their
support and understanding so that these forgotten
children need no longer be overlooked by our lead-
ers, ignored by our schools and shunned by society;
and
Be It Further Resolved, That this resolution be
spread upon the Journal of the Proceedings of the
City Council, and that a copy thereof be presented
to the Chicagoland Committee For National Re-
tarded Children's Week.
On motion of Alderman Cilella said proposed res-
olution was adopted.
Referred — Proposed Order for Approval of
Plat of Resubdivision.

Presented by
ALDERMAN LANCASTER (37th Ward) :
Felicitations Extended to Joseph F. Grossman on
Fiftieth Anniversary of His Admission to the

A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, Joseph F. Grossman, special assistant
corporation counsel in charge of public utility mat-
ters is this year celebrating the fiftieth anniversary
of his admission to the bar of the State of Illinois;
and
Whereas, Mr. Grossman has for more than
thirty years served as assistant corporation coun-
sel, first assistant corporation counsel, and acting
corporation counsel with skill and distinction; and
Whereas, During his long service with the City
Law Department he has earned and held an en-
viable reputation for legal acumen, sound judg-
ment, tremendous zeal, and high integrity, all of
which has inured to the benefit of the City; now,

Congratulations Extended to Comr. Timothy J, O'Con-
nor, Lieut. Frank Pape and Members of the
Robbery Detail of the Police Dept.,
and Others for Efficient and
Meritorious Service.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, The City of Chicago has reason to be
proud of the personnel of the Chicago Police De-
partment, whose membership are dedicated to pro-
tect the lives and property of its citizens; and
Whereas, Within the past six weeks, the Rob-
bery Detail, headed by Lieutenant Frank Pape,
participated in two heroic gunbattles with crim-
inals, demonstrating the finest bit of police work
in the history of the Department ; and
Whereas, After five (5) months of tireless effort
on the part of five (5) members of the Robbery De-
tail, assigned by Lieutenant Pape — two desperate
ex-convicts, Chris Kanakes and Spiros Demitralis,
were shot and killed in a carefully laid plan at 5817
W. Madison Street. At least fifteen (15) major
armed robbery cases were solved, and the State
saved the expense of prosecution ; and
Whereas, Again on October 28th, seven days
after a desperate escaped ex-convict shot and killed
Patrolman Charles Annerino of the Robbery De-
tail in a tavern at 1756 W. Lawrence Avenue, per-
sistent and tireless work on the part of his fellow
workers on the Robbery Detail vindicated his
death, when Agostino Amedeo was killed by Lieu-
tenant Pape and his men at W. Berwyn Avenue
and N. Clark Street ; and
Whereas, The opinion of the public is best ex-
pressed in letter directed to Commissioner O'Con-
nor, as follows :
"September 24, 1954
Mr. Timothy J. O'Connor
Commissioner of Police
City Hall
Chicago, Illinois
Dear Mr. O'Connor: —
Today's headlines about the killing of holdup
men Christopher Kanakes and Spiro Demitralis
are the effective closing of a chapter of excellent
police work.
These two men held up our company on April
27, 1954 with one Thomas Kaskas as getaway
man. Kaskas' trial will come up shortly for his
part in the Commissary holdup.
Detectives from the Robbery Division, including
Lawrence Shupolsky, Raymond Clark, Bryan Con-
nolly, Martin Flynn and James Kinsclla, have
done the most effective pohce work in this case
that has ever come to my attention. I know in
this case that Detectives Schupolsky and Clark
and possibly some of the others of whom I may
not know — put in a good deal of their own per-
sonal time on the case. You may be proud as I
am, of these business-like effective police officers
and the impressive zeal with which they go
about their work.
Concerning the head of their division, I have
never seen a man so respected by his subordin-
ates as Lieutenant Frank Pape or one more
painstakingly thorough in his work. Such men
give the Chicago businessmen substantial confi-
dence in the police force that protects them.
My thanks and those of our whole firm, to you
and the wonderful men on your force.
Sincerely yours.
Commissary, Incorporated
John F. Langdon
Comptroller";
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the City
Council of the City of Chicago, hereby congratulate
Lieutenant Frank Pape and the following members
of the robbery detail :
Patrolman Lawrence Schupolsky
Patrolman Bryan Connolly
Patrolman Raymond Clark
Patrolman Martin Flynn
Patrolman Alfred Friedl
Patrolman James Kinsella
Patrolman Charles Fitzgerald
Patrolman Frank Schulze
Patrolman John McNally
Patrolman Patrick O'Connor
Patrolman Gene Irven
Patrolman Frank Janousek, and
Patrolman Patrick Flynn, of the Chicago
Park District,
and also congratulate Commissioner Timothy J.
O'Connor for this efficient police work ; and heartily
concur in the recommendation of Commissioner O'-
Connor that these men be considered for awards by
the Mayor's Chicago Youth Foundation Recom-
mendation for outstanding and meritorious service.

Postponement of Inauguration of 3-Platoon System in

Also a communication addressed to the Mayor and
the City Council under date of November 29, 1954,
signed by M. J. Corrigan, Fire Commissioner, Anthony
J. Mullaney, Assistant Fire Commissioner, and John
J. Haberkorn, Chief Fire Marshal, reading as follows :
"Gentlemen — There is submitted herewith a
tabulation of Fire Department manpower on a 3-
platoon basis. The platoon proposed arrangement
would average five men each with the exception
of fire boats and combination companies which for
obvious reasons need more manpower. There is
no provision made for furloughs or sick leaves.
"At meetings of all Fire Department officers, of
Battalion Chief rank and above, held on Friday,
November 26, and today, it was the unanimous
belief of those present that while the 3-platoon
arrangement, approximated in the enclosed tabu-
lation, could be put into effect December 1, if or-
dered, the best interests of the public and those
of the rank and file of the Fire Department would
be best served by deferring a new working system
until December i6, or later. The added time could
be used effectively for smoothing out many of the
field operational problems inherent in a transition
from a 2-platoon system to a 3-platoon system in
the Chicago Fire Department.
"This additional time would also tend to mini-
mize street accidents and fire control accidents
which may attend the transition because it will
give an opportunity to develop team work in the
newly-formed platoons as well as to properly qual-
ify the newly assigned drivers and operators of
fire equipment."
On motion of Alderman CuUerton the recommenda-
tion made in the foregoing communication for post-
ponement of the inauguration of the 3-platoon system
in the Fire Department was concurred in.

less than sixteen inches (16") on centers and shall
be butted and not lapped. Studding shall be set di-
rectly over and under joists, leaving a space of not
less than fourteen inches (14") between studs and
joists. Wherever joists are cut, headers must be
put in to support joists. In all buildings having
studded exterior walls the floors shall be extended
to the outside sheathing and all spaces between
studding shall be closed at the attic floor line.
(2) All partition walls (or sections of these
walls) in which heat stacks to second or third
floor rooms are to be installed, shall be of suffi-
cient size to accommodate stacks required to heat
said rooms.
(3) In new construction, it shall be unlawful for
anyone to do any cutting of woodwork for the re-
ception of the wall stacks or baseboard registers
except the general contractor or the contractor in
charge of the work for him, or some experienced
carpenter working under him. Where it is neces-
sary to cut joists or supporting members, headers
shall be put in and braced so as not to weaken the
structure.
B. Buildings Already Constructed.
(1) It shall not be necessary to remove the plas-
ter and lath from the walls where the new stacks
are to be run, provided that stacks have proper ca-
pacity for connecting basement pipe and can be
securely fastened together and shoved in either
from above or below.
(2) On buildings already constructed, it shall be
lawful for the heating contractor to do any cutting
necessary for the reception of all appurtenances in
the installation of a gravity warm air heating plant,
except when it is necessary to cut joist or support-
ing members the work shall be done by an experi-
enced carpenter and headers shall be put in and
braced so as not to weaken the structure.

(2) For a structure with a Btu requirement in
excess of 120,000 Btu per hour the furnace shall
be selected as follows :
a. Where a duct loss does not exceed 15%, se-
lect a furnace with a recognized Btu bonnet
delivery 15% greater than the Btu require-
ments of the system.
b. Where the duct loss exceeds 15%, select a
furnace with a recognized bonnet capacity to
compensate for additional loss — or insulate
ducts to reduce loss.
79.1-7. Design Requirements.
A. Gravity Heating Plants
(1) The following formula shall be used for
determining the size of basement warm air leader
pipes; where H represents the total heat to be
supplied any run for a 175° register temperature:
a. Leader areas for first floor, square inches =
H
111
approximately 0.009H.
b. Leader areas for second floor, square inches
H
= = approximately 0.006H.
166
c. Use no warm air pipe less than 8 inches in
diameter. If a basement warm air pipe fig-
ures greater area than any standard commer-
cial size then the nearest commercial size
shall be used; provided, however, that the
total pipe area shall in no case be less than
the total requirements according to the above-
mentioned formula.
d. It is understood in using the above values for
determining basement warm air pipe areas,
that these pipes should be run comparatively
straight and that they should not be over 10
to 12 feet in length. Sharp turns and long
pipes should have extra capacity.
(2) First floor room wall stacks shall have
areas not less than the areas of the leader pipes to
which they are connected.
(3) Second floor room wall stacks shall have
an area not less than 70% of the areas of the lead-
er pipes to which they are connected.
(4) Where one stack is used to convey heat to
two rooms its net area shall be determined by add-
ing together the areas of the two single stacks,
which would be required to take care of the heat
losses for each room where single stacks are used.
(5) Transition from warm air pipes to stacks
shall be made with a well designed elbow or boot
and no stack shall be less than 70% of the area
of the warm air pipe leading to it.
(6) All first floor fittings and connections shall
maintain a free area equal to the basement pipes
leading to them.
(7) All registers shall have a free area at
least equal to the area of the basement pipes lead-
ing to them.
(8) In second floor duplex, flats or apartments
where separate heating plants are used, add 50%
to the total net calculated areas as determined by
paragraphs one (1) and three (3) of this section.
B. Forced Warm Air Heating Plants
(1) All warm air supplied to habitable spaces
shall be conveyed thereto through a system of
non-combustible ducts from the furnace to the
register.
(2) Sizing trunk lines and branches :
a. The sizing of trunk lines shall be based on a
velocity not exceeding 1,000 feet per minute,
using a register air temperature of not to ex-
ceed 175 degrees F., which will provide for
650 BTUH per square inch of cross sectional
area of trunk lines.
b. The sizing of branch lines shall be based on a
velocity not exceeding 600 feet per minute,
using a register air temperature of 175 de-
grees F., which will provide for 400 BTUH
per square inch of cross sectional area of
branch lines.
(3) In no case shall a duct system be installed
whereby a sound level exceeding 35 decibels is
maintained in any habitable space used for dwell-
ing purposes.
(4) Basic formula for sizing ducts — forced
warm air system:
BTUH = Specific Heat X weight per cubic ft.
of air X 60 X 105
(Example: for 70° air at a 105° temperature
rise, the formula would be: BTUH = .241 X
.0624 X 60 X 105)
Area in Square Inches of] 1.5 BTUH

(5) In lieu of Section 79.1-7 B(2) above, the
methods for determining sizes of warm air pipes,
wall stacks, transition fittings and stacks, and the
method of determining size of furnace may be in
accordance with the following recommendations
adopted and published by the National Warm Air
Heating and Air Conditioning Association, which-
ever are applicable to the particular design:

ducts shall be securely fastened and made substan-
tially air tight. Slip joints shall have a lap of at
least one inch, and be individually fastened.
(5) Duct supports: All ducts shall be securely
supported by metal hangers, straps, lugs or brack-
ets. No nails shall be driven through the duct walls
and no unnecessary holes shall be cut therein.
(6) Riser installation: All risers shall be tight-
ly fitted and supported in a proper manner so as
not to obstruct the flow of air, but to retain the
full capacity throughout.
( 7 ) Ducts through floor or ceiling : Where warm
air ducts pierce floor or ceiling, the spaces around
the ducts at such points shall be tightly sealed or
filled with non-combustible material to form a fire
stop.
(8) Pitch of gravity ducts: Warm air ducts of
a gravity system shall have an upward pitch, in the
direction of flow, through their entire length.
(9) Gravity ducts through floor; into parti-
tion : Where warm air ducts of gravity system en-
ter a floor, partition or enclosure of combustible
construction within a horizontal distance of six
feet of the furnace, the duct shall be so arranged
that heated air must travel six feet from the clos-
est primary heating surface or change direction
equivalent to at least 90 degrees to ehminate di-
rect reflection before entering such floor partition
or enclosure. This is not intended to prohibit so-
called pipeless furnaces.
(10) Gravity registers of pipeless furnace:
Where warm air registers of a gravity system are
installed in the floor over the furnace (as in a so-
called pipeless furnace) the register box shall be
constructed double with an air space of not less
than 4 inches between, except where the warm air
passage is surrounded by a cold air passage.
(11) Where warm air ducts are exposed in
closets they shall be covered with not less than
l^-inch air cell asbestos or its equivalent in ap-
proved fire-resistive insulating covering, properly
protected against injury.
( 12) Removal of fire-stopping for ducts : Where
the installation of ducts in walls, floor or partitions
requires the removal of any fire-stopping, the
spaces around the duct at such points where fire-
stopping was removed shall be tightly filled or
sealed with non-combustible material.
U3") Insulation of warm air ducts for gravity
and forced air: Ducts located in cold attic spaces,
or other equivalent cold spaces, shall be insulated
with at least one inch thickness of insulation.

shall be insulated with at least one inch thickness
of insulation.
(15) Volume dampers — forced air systems:
Volume dampers of locking type shall be placed in
each forced warm air run.
Outside air inlet ducts shall be equipped with
volume dampers.
(16) Warm air stacks: All warm air stacks
shall be run in inside walls. Where it is absolutely
necessary to run same in outside walls they shall
be insulated with mineral wool or not less than
three (3) thicknesses of air cell asbestos paper.
(17) Baseboard registers: For baseboard warm
air duct registers the air velocity shall not exceed
500 feet per minute.
(18) In any furnace system having not more
than two warm air registers, at least one of the
registers shall be without valve or louvers and the
pipe thereto shall be without damper.
(19) A warm air supply register located in the
floor shall have diffuser vanes which are adjust-
able for spread. No part of the free area of any
floor register shall extend into the room a distance
greater than 9 inches from the wall.
79.1-9. Return Air System.
Return Air Ducts: Gravity and Forced Air
(1) The air supply to furnace for warm air
heating plants may be taken from outside or from
within the building, or may be taken partially from
outside and partially from within. Air returned
from a basement area shall be taken only from
habitable rooms. In no case shall air be supplied
in any furnace from any furnace room.
a. The cold air intake or return of a gravity
warm air system where air is taken from
within the building shall have a net area
through its entire length of not less than the
combined area of all warm air pipes leading
from the furnace. This may be maintained in
one or more ducts. No reverse incline or air
trap will be allowed in any section thereof.
b. The cold air intake or return of a forced
warm air heating system where air is taken
from within the building shall have a com-
bined net area of not less than 85% of all
warm air pipes leading from the furnace.
This may be maintained in one or more
ducts.
c. When the cold air supply is taken wholly
from the outside of the building the supply
duct at its most contracted area must equal
or exceed eighty per cent (80%) of the com-
bined area of all warm air pipes leading from
the furnace.
d. Cold air ducts in Gravity Warm Air Heating
Systems shall maintain a constant net area
throughout their entire length and shall be
made dust tight. Horizontal return ducts
shall have at least ten per cent (10%) great-
er area than vertical connecting pipes. Where

proper measurement to make the area at
least equal to that of the round or square
pipe to which it is connected.
e. Wherever the space between joists is used to
convey cold air overhead, such space shall be
at least ten per cent (10%) greater in the
area than the connecting pipe; and shall be
sealed and air tight.
(2) Materials, return air ducts: All return air
ducts, except as required by paragraph (3) below,
may be constructed of metal, or 1-inch (nominal)
boards, or other suitable material, provided that
no material more inflammable than 1-inch wood
boards shall be used.
(3) Return air ducts within two feet of fur-
nace: Portions of return air ducts within two feet
of the heat exchanger shall be constructed of non-
combustible material.
(4) Return air ducts in floors, walls, parti-
tions : Where return air ducts are installed in walls,
floors or partitions their installation shall comply
with the provisions of Section 79.1-8(12) regard-
ing iire-stopping.
(5) Stud or joist spaces used as return air
ducts : Where spaces between studs in walls or par-
titions or spaces between joists in floors are used
as ducts, the portions of such spaces so used shall
be cut off from all remaining unused portions by
tight fitting stops of sheet metal or of wood of not
less than 2-inch thickness.
(6) Combustible return air duct space linings:
The interior of combustible ducts shall be lined
with non-combustible material at points where
there might be danger from incandescent particles
dropped through the register or heater, such as
directly under floor registers and the bottom of
vertical ducts or directly under heaters having a
bottom return.
(7) One grille to each stack: No vertical stud
space shall have openings to receive return air
from more than one level.
(8) Underfloor air returns: Return air shall be
conducted to the heater through continuous ducts
constructed in accordance with Section 79.1-9(2)
above.
(9) Bridging and planning in return air joist
spaces: Wherever the space between joists is used
to convey return air overhead, all bridging shall be
removed and a dust-proof bottom shall be con-
structed. If more area is required, two or more
spaces may be used, or a pan may be constructed
to extend below the joists to obtain the required
area. .
(10) Gravity return air grilles: The cold air
face or faces shall be made of wood or metal. When
set in floors the top of v/ood faces shall be flush
with floor. Where cold air face is placed in a seat
or side wall the open work of face must extend to
within one inch ( 1" ) of the floor line.
79.1-10. Method of Installing Furnace.
A. Location of Gravity Furnace
The location of a gravity furnace shall be such
as to equalize the length of warm air runs as far
as possible, yet give necessary preference to pipes
supplying living rooms, dining rooms and main
halls.
B. Mounting of Furnaces
(1) Furnaces may be mounted on an incom-
bustible floor such as brick, cement or other in-
combustible material provided the floor is level
and the furnace is tightly sealed at the bottom of
the casing.
(2) Where it is necessary to place a furnace
on a combustible floor, not less than 4 inches of
hollow tile shall be used in every instance, having
joints matched in such a way that air passage will
be free from side to side, so that at no time will
the removal of ashes or the handling of coal close
up these openings. Such foundation shall be cov-
ered with continuous sheet metal plates, of not
less than No. 24 gauge metal, having all joints
substantially riveted or double seamed. This floor
covering shall extend under the whole of the fire-
box and ashpit of the furnace and outwardly not
less than as given in Table I.
(3) High Boy, Forced Air Furnace on Com-
bustible Floor: Automatically-fired, forced warm
air furnaces may be mounted on a combustible
floor provided they are so arranged that the blower
and the blower chamber occupies the entire area
beneath the firing chamber and forms a well venti-
lated air space between the firing chamber and the
floor.
(4) Furnaces with Legs, on Combustible Floor:
Warm air furnaces which have 4 inches or more of
open space under the base of the appliance may
be mounted on combustible floors, provided the ap-
pliance is such that flame or hot gasses do not come
in contact with its base, and further provided the
floor under the appliance is protected with not less
than 1/4 inch of asbestos millboard or equal cov-
ered with sheet metal of not less than 24 U. S.
gauge. The above specified floor protection shall
extend not less than the clearances specified in
Table I.
(5) Downflow Furnace on Combustible Floor:
A downflow furnace installed on a combustible
floor must be set over a plenum of proper size, and
both the furnace and the plenum must be support-
ed by a base of one inch thick asbestos millboard,
building tile or cinder block. The plenum must be
suspended from the top of the non-combustible base
and a clearance of at least one inch must be pro-
vided between the outer sides of the plenum and
the wood framing around the opening in the floor.
This one inch space must be filled with non-com-
bustible insulation.
C. Setting or Assembling of Furnace
(1) The base ring of the furnace shall be ce-
mented to the foundation making an air-tight joint,
unless the furnace has a solidly closed base in
which case the cement may be omitted. The furnace
parts shall be assembled plumb and level and in a
workmanlike manner.
(2) All sections and joints shall be properly
fitted. Joints requiring cement shall be well filled
and all bolts shall be drawn up tightly.
(3) Every warm air furnace shall be equipped
with a water pan or humidifying, device to evap-
orate moisture in the air.
.D. Casings
(1) Warm air furnaces shall be enclosed in
metal casings or walls of brick, tile or concrete.
(2) Sheet metal casings, including casing tops,
shall be made of galvanized sheets, not lighter

than 26 U. S. Standard Gauge. They shall fit the
casings and casing rings closely, so as to be dust
ti°ht and shall be securely fastened to the tront.
The casing shall be lined from the upper casing
ring down to a line on a level with the grate.
(3) When side collars are used the casing top
must be of sufficient height so that the largest
warm air pipe can be taken from side without oval-
in°- In no case shall a distance less than eight
inches (8") be maintained between the top of any
furnace and the top line of the bonnet.
(4) Clearances:
a Furnaces shall be installed to provide clear-
ances to woodwork or other combustible ma-
terial whether plastered or unplastered, not
less than as shown in Table I.
b Furnaces may be installed with clearances to
woodwork, or other combustible material, as
shown in Table I, where the combustible ma-
terial or the furnace is protected as described
in said table.

Action Defcrred"ON Proposed Annual Appkopkia-
tion Ordinance for Year 1955 |
Also a committee report reading as follows:
November 30, 1954.
To the Honarable the President and Members of
the City Council of the City of Chicago:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was
referred (November 4, 1954) Departmental and
Comptroller's Estimates for the Year 1955, respect-
fully submits herewith the Tentative Annual Ap-
propriation Ordinance for the Year 1955.
It had been the intention of His Honor the Mayor
and myself to submit this year an executive budget
with an approach to performance features. Forms
were prepared for this purpose in such a way that
the performance data could readily have been
omitted when published in the Council Journal.
We could not, of course, change the accounting code
to a functional basis, since this requires a change
in our budget law.
Our plans were dropped when it was learned that
the Comptroller intended to issue the Departmental
and Comptroller's Estimates pending a change in
statute and code which would clearly relieve him
of the responsibility of submitting the Estimates.
Two reports which could in some degree be in con-
flict with each other, seemed absurd. It was there-
fore thought best to await the necessary changes.
In lieu thereof the Budget Director worked with
the Comptroller in preparing the Estimates and m
allocating according to their best judgment the
money available. The Budget Director prepared for
the information of all concerned "Budget Informa-
tion and Data for the Year 1955."
The revenue available for appropriation in 1955
was found to be $1,534,000. less than in 1954. This
was due primarily to the fact that approximately
$1,300,000. more than was anticipated of the ciga-
rette tax receipts went into the Escrow Fund,
thereby reducing the City's cash balance. There
was also a reduction of about $300,000. in antici-
pated tax receipts for 1955 due to a reduction in
railroad property valuation. There was at the time
of preparing the Estimates no change in the Court
Order requiring parties to the suit challenging the
Cigarette Ordinance to deposit their payments in
the bank.
With this sizable reduction in anticipated revenue
it was necessary to cut proposed appropriations for
many departments. It was also necessary to allo-
cate additional funds to certain activities, notably
the Election Commission, the Courts, the House of
Correction, the Bureau of Aviation, and the Bureau
of Architecture. This was done with an eye to the
least possible damage to service. In attempting to
avoid a cut in appropriations for the Police and
Fire Departments it was impossible to avoid reduc-
tions in funds allocated to the Sanitation Bureau
and the Bureau of Electricity. These cuts should
be restored with any funds which may become
available.
The City Council voted a reduction in the hours
of firemen. A reduction in hours for the police is
pending. Requests for wage increases, running into
the millions, were received by Your Committee.
It was impossible to give the Fire Department
funds with which to maintain the manpower
strength of the department. We could not meet the
demand for wage increases, nor could we meet the
demand for hour reduction made by other em-
ployees. There was clearly indicated in our delib-
8640
JOURNAL^— CITY COUNCII^-CHICAGO
November 29, 1954
erations a need for an increase in our resources of
from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars.
It is recommended that the need for additional
revenue be clearly set forth in a plea to the Gen-
eral Assembly. Costs have risen so rapidly that
further revenue producing powers must be forth-
coming if the normal corporate activities of the
City are to be maintained.
Your Committee urges serious consideration of
the problems here presented and the proposals here
made.
